Open your hood up, you will see on top of each headlight, letter U and D, and L and R...up,down,left,right accordingly.

Now follow those letters and look on backside of the headlights. You will see a knob for each.

You will need 10mm socket wrench and 5mm hex.

To adjust them, try parking 25 feet back from a wall. Measure the distance from the ground to your middle of your headlights, now go mark the wall with the measurement you obtained. Aim your headlights so the hot spot is about 1.5 inches lower

we should really make one thread, will all the basic information and make it a sticky, its getting annoying posting same stuff over and over again.

figure...also if you dont have 25 feet to spare, you can half the distance, and half to .75 inches, just do in proportion. Test out your aim by driving behind someone, the beam should no go over the trunk...it should be around the bumper and a little higher to upper mid of a trunk.

between the HID bulb housing and Highbeam bulb housing there should be a big 10mm bolt which is very easily accessible when u take off the plastic radiator gaurd from above the grille. Mine had a blue line mark on the bolts

heres a thread link https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...eadlight+Angle

dude, did you locate the letters? did you look on the back of the headlights?

The knobs are Silver, circular, with the 10mm socket coming it out of it, and with a 'hole' in the middle with the imprint of hex"....use a flash light. From the Intake Area, bend down and look at the back for the headlght, they are on the back side, so bend your neck.

sometimes, before you go with Up/Down, do left \ right, they sometimes go Up rapidly, weird, but true.
