i installed a pair of 6000k's today and i realized that one light beams a lil higher than the other.. how do i level out that light to be more even with the other one?

yeah i did a search and couldn't find much

thanks d00ds

 

i need this info also b/c mine sit a tad low, also, can someone take a pic and point out the screw to adjust as i played around with the ones i saw to no aval.

 

If you pop the hood you will see above teh headlight on the black trim piece there is a arrow with up and down. Below that on the back of the headlight is an adjustment screw. At night (easiest to see) park facing a wall so you can see the light pattern, and start adjusting. I forgot what size bolt it is but a small 1/4 inch wratchet will adgust them

 

i believe its a 10mm bolt

 

yup its a 10. It'll adjust up and down. left to right is handled by a small grey wheel that can be turned by hand. just stand in front of the headlight and look down at it, you'll figure it out.

 

alright thanks guys!

 

thats on the 02-03........... on the 99-01 its a phillips head screwdriver.

 

My 2000 used a 10mm socket

 

Kris you're not going to mention the obvious in this thread?!

The driver's side headlight is purposely aimed lower than the passenger one to reduce glare for oncoming traffic. It's best that you leave this slight difference. It creates a "step" look on the road, and all car headlights are like this now - the beam patterns are designed for it. By making them level, it will make it seem that one is brighter than the other. This is from my experience.

You should only adjust them if they are too high or too low, or drastically uneven.

 

then both of mine are broke on my 2000

 

I want my headlights even. If anyone should be concerned about glare and oncoming traffic, it should be that idiot with the lifted SUV.

 

Nope, cause i adjusted mine to be a littel higher and even (helps me see the pitch black north woods roads better)

What do you mean by that?

 

i'll take a pic tomorrow

 

thanks guys, i thought i was using the right nut, i was just turning it the wrong way, put it up against a white wall, could see the beam moving up when i gave it another attempt!! that left one though is a bitch to get to !!

 

this is what i was talking about....what am i doing wrong??

 

someone please help me ......my light points right to the ground....

 

Huh. thats where mine has a 10 mm bolt. well thats the adjustment bolt/screw. Use teh info above and adjust with a screw driver i guess

 

thanx for the info, i thought i was turning the wrong thing.

 

WELL, i keep turning and it doesnt go high enough ( points almost straight down!) it will go down further tho but not high enough....the bad thing is that its the passenger side light that has this problem!

so, my Q is.....do i need new housing or is there a way to fix it???

 

When I adjusted mine, it took a lot of turning of that nut to notice any difference. It's adjusts them in the smallest incriments.

 

when i turn it to point it down, it moves pretty quickly....then when i turn it to put it back up, it moves pretty quickly but it just stops at one point that not high enough.

 

was your light always down like that? or was there somthing that caused it to move downwards?

 

my lights were stolen and the retard that installed the new ones didnt know what he was doing......and no im not gunna go back to him.

 

this is the problem, look at the right side. theres like no light. theheadlight points straight down and it wont go any higher

 

looks like they arent installed properly? you Are probably going to have to figure out why you cant raise it up any higher. Does the head light housing itself look like its sitting the way it should (IE fitment) maybe its not bolted in corectly?

 

yea, its in right.....i did even try to lean the whole housing back.
heres a pic....it looks ok.

what would i have to do?? buy a new housing or is there a way to fix it??

pleeeeeez help me

 

?? dont know what to say? its possible that what ever the bolt turns into to raise and lower is striped out? i would take it out and inspect every thing and see if you can cind a solution to it other than having to buy a new ones

 

thanx......im just gunna have to wait till the weather get a lil better.

 

try seeing if you can remove the adjusting bolt

 

when it start pointing down? did you pull out your bulb? I bet you installed the bulb upside down ... the long metal rod should be facing down.

 

sorry for double posting, but i was redirected to this thread and i thot this would be a better thread to resurrect.

so only the 02-03 adjust via a 10 mm and the 99-01 uses a philips?

as i look straight down, what jumps at me is a silver 10MM bolt (2001)

which way should i turn it? i tried both ways and it doesnt seem to budge, is it something that has to be turned a lot?
