hey guys,

i've been noticing that my right front hid aiming higher than normal, can someone give me advice on how to adjust the leveling?

Pop the hood and you will see above the lights, on the radiator cover something like "L u R" and "U u D" with holes next to the writing, the lowercase "u" would be an arrow.

Just get a thick phillips head (star) screwdriver and adjust as necessary. I would spot it against the back of another car or, better yet, a wall to have a good feeling of where the cut off is and then adjust as you see fit.

Keep the car about 15-20 feet behind to see the cut off because if you're up close you will adjust it higher than it should be and could blind other drivers. It's really easy to tell. I would do it during dusk or dawn to see the beam well if you do it outside.

 

lemme give you a try after work today, will post back the results!

 

it worked, thanks buddy

 

FYI, the right one is supposed to aim higher than the left one. It's a safety feature so you can see pedestrians, etc...on the side of the road, etc.... You should aim it back to where it was.

 

i notice my Hid one one side is alittle brighter than the other side...
any one has any idea how to adjust the hid? or the bulb is the problem..

 

I don't believe so. If that was the case, then you'll notice one light aimed higher than another car at night. Each light looks like this ___/----. I believe the right light should match the left light's height. That way, it'll look exactly like this all the way through ____/------

 

^ Yea. The projectors within the headlight housing already take into account the pedestrians and what not which is why it's set up like that. Also by keep the driver's side lower as not to blind the oncoming traffic. JDM lights, for instance, are the exact opposit -----\_____ since they drive on the opposite side. If you take your car to a dealership they will align it the exact same way ____/-------- and it will align perfectly, you can't really make it align --------------- all the way across since the lights only go so low and so high and I tired it just for fun and it wouldn't allow me to get that far.
