Headlight problem

Finally got this forum back up, jeez.
Well anyway, I finally got my tl lowered and put some sways on it, and now need help on fixin the headlights. You see, they kinda point down too much. Does anyone know to adjust the headlights on the '02 TLs, cause if you do i need help before i run into somthing.

Thanx

I would just take to your local Acura dealer and let them re-align the headlights. I had my dealer re-align the beams while I was getting my first oil change at the same time. My dealer charged me $20.

Yeah. The dealer should be able to fix that pretty easily. Just schedule an appointment.

Do a search, someone just posted the instructions with good pictures not long ago.

I need to have mine adjusted too, I'll probably have the dealer do it.

When I read the instructions it did look very easy, the only thing that I didn't get was at point to aim your headlights. By that I mean the instructions said pick a spot on the wall, mark it and then adjust ..... However, that has to be a way to determine how high the mark should be at X feet from the wall. If I knew this piece I would do it myself.

Use another car and turn the lights on and mark the spot. Then pull your car up to the same spot and turn the lights on and adjust.

Damn! Thats too much money for something that takes a min. All you need to do is locate a nut w/teeth around it. It's right behind the headlights. After you located it, take a 10mm socket and turn it left or right. Find a level driveway and aim it at something. Hope this helps.

Make sure the other car isn't lowered, too, if you're gonna go that route!!!

The warranty covers routine adjustments during the 2st 12 months, right?

My dealer did it for free with no questions asked.
