Head Light LOW BEAM adjustment
Head Light LOW BEAM adjustment
HI everyone, I've done a search on how to raise my low beams higher on my 03 TL-S but I can't seem to find a DIY for it.
My car is lowered and looks raked, thats why the low beams are pointing down.
Can anybody explain How to do this and with what tools?
I'm not even sure where the adjustment knobs are....
Thanks everyone in Advance.

very easy...u'll need a ratchet and 10 mm socket. When u pop the hood u'll be lookin down at the headlights ok...all u need to do is stick the socket onto a nut between the low beam bulb and highbeam bulb. mine had a blue mark on it so i dunno if urs will either, but its simple to spot. Just a silver nut between the 2 bulbs, turning it clockwise lowers the beam, counterclockwise raises it. if ur still confused just say and i'll take pics to show u.
btw: it helps to remove the radiator cover, u dont have to, but easier access to the nuts.

I believe the spec for the aim on our headlights is 5cm below center. There is a square in the plastic on the front of the headlight. Measure the distance from the ground to the square. Then on the wall, put a mark 5cm below that measured distance, with the car 7.5m ~25ft feet from the wall, that is where the top of the headlight cutoff should hit.
With your car being lowered you might be able to get away with 4cm lower but if the cutoff is any higher than that, you will blind on coming cars.
