Hi, I'm new here, I just bought a 1999 3.2 TL and the headlights are a bit low. How do I adjust the the headlights?

Oh and by the way, I just found out about the tranny issue on these cars and the previous owner never had the oil jet taken care of!

 

call acura 1-800-382-2238 x5 and see if you are part of the oil jet install recall and if it was ever done- also ask about ignition switch recall
If not- get to the dealer for that right away

To adjust headlights, look on top of the lens with hood open- see the tiny +- marks? they tell you what way to turn the tool
now look on back of housing and see a V shaped raised in the plastic- follow that down a few inches to a gear assembly
Take a + screwdriver and slide down the V channel- you may have to tilt tool or move something for access...use the tip of screwdriver as a cam gear and rotate it to turn the adjuster gear!
Simple

 

have your VIN ready when calling acura

 

Thanks will do, I saw in another thread that you posted to call between 9 and 5 PST.

 

mon thru fri- off all major holidays
Dont expect to be talking to the 1 retired acura tech there. Most of the rest of the 20 or so operators just answer the phone and can look things up in a book of pre-programmed questions and answers
All of which start with- take it to the dealer for diagnosis
If you ask about goodwill over miles---they say NO
but they are not the acura regional warranty manager who makes the actual decision

you can register online- and call- they have more info on phone, different systems

Oh, and welcome to acurazine!

between the members we can figure out most probs- and the DIY section is loaded with free to expensive mods that make the car more fun to drive

 

iirc its 6 am to 5 pm pacific , so the east coasters dont have to wait till noon to call

 

The Acura dealer called me this morning and told me that my car was not part of the recall. I thought that all 1999 TL's were part of the recall?

That really sucks!
