>>ANGLE HEADLIGHTS UP??<<

I recently changed my HID Bulbs, and I think they are angled too low to the ground. I can't really see far with them and I was wondering if theres a way to angle them up to fix this problem. Any solutions will help!!


Thanks!~

You can angle the beam pattern by adjusting this screw on the back of the headlight. It should be a 10mm bolt. I believe if you tighten the screw clockwise it will move up and counter-clockwise it will move down. Make sure you're 20 feet from a wall before doing so for best results.

Be careful not to aim it too high. It may look nicer but you will run into two problems: the light will be projecting into the sky line and you won't see as much light on the road or in front of you and if it is aimed too high you will blind other drivers and will eventually get a ticket.

Are you insinuating that his girlfriend is fat and that if she were in the backseat her morbid obeseness would push the backend of the car down so much so that the front would point up higher therefore angling his headlights up?? If this is the truth then let it be known that you sir are a funny man.

This is the adjustment screw/bolt. Like htown said a wrench OR you can use a philips head screwdriver in the hole at the top.
