Help me aim my headlights!!!
I have an 03 tl (figures lol) and I cant figure it out. I see the plastic on the housing with "U" arrow "D" but where exactly is the gear? Sorry to sound ignorant, but this is my first Acura!!

should be in the DIY section- look on top of gen2 thread page list

Basically look at top of housing and see an <-- --> on the plastic, then look behind housing on its back for a V channel in raised plastic- that goes down to a gear you can see- thats the vertical adjuster
Slide a + screwdriver down the v channel- its a guide!- may have to angle rearwards toward windshield to fit
slide down till you contact the gear, now the 4 sides of the phillips screwdriver mesh with the plastic gears- turn the screwdriver as indicated by the up down arrows on top of housing and adjust as desired
DIY has spec on how light should hit against wall at 30 feet
dont want left beam too high as it blinds oncoming cars
right side should extend farther and slightly right so the line and side lane for parking and bicycles pedestrians, corners etc is lit up for you

no sorry i don't. but i'm sure some other members are willing to chime in but the details i presented are as detailed as they will get. all it takes is for you to look at the device and follow the steps.
if you don't know or can't follow the directions above then obviously you shouldn't be under the hood

----> if you read the instructions clear and thoroughly you would see again. look behind housing on its back for a V channel in raised plastic- that goes down to a gear you CAN see- thats the vertical adjuster.
