The reason Acura and most other mfg's do what the poster said above at least according to an Acura Rep I bumped into at a dealership said was the term "Lefty Loosey Righty Tighty". Turning right makes the light "tighter" or shorter the throw and turning left "elongates" it by turning the lights upwards towards the sky. I don't know how correct this explanation is but it does make some sense.

Why do you need to adjust it? Isn't that they're already in spec? If turn lower you won't have much vision and if you turn higher you're a douche bag that's all I have to say.

I'm not sure how are on the new cars, but the left side have to aim lower than the right as for the left side driving. So you don't blind the on coming traffic.

Here's the rules, pay attention to the bolded items:

If you are new you need to search before posting a thread. There is so much information in the garage and all over this site. I guarantee you its been asked before.

Treat new members with respect. I was new once and had no idea how to use the search function. Lets help them out, thats why we are here. Theres nothing wrong with telling them to search, just be respectful about it.

If you are out of line or confrontational you will be warned. You get one warning then if you are a repeat offender you get a two week ban. If during that ban you come back under a different username you will be banned permanently. Your second offense after two weeks is a month ban. Again, coming back under a different username = permanent ban.

We do not censor language. We have some latitude on this one. But please choose your words wisely. We do not allow cursing in thread titles. No need to talk e-gansta either. This isnt a back alley.

Please no commments on grammar/spelling/command of the English language. For some this is not their first language.

TL is not the forum to sell items. We have a black market in the Off Topic section. Please post all for sale items there.

This forum is information based. We try to keep it that way. If you have nothing to add to a thread then do not post. People start threads here because they need answers. If you can't provide any input you are better off not posting.

If you need to let your hair down and talk about anything, then feel free to go to Ramblings in the Off Topic section. That is where it needs to stay.

These rules are not designed to take the fun out of posting. Their main purpose is to keep this forum civil. This is not a mens locker room. Im not saying we cant have discussions here. We just need to be mature about it.

Most important, if there is an argument going on or someone is out of line, do not add fuel to the fire. Any participation in it makes you just as guilty. Just PM the staff and we will take care of the situation.

From this point on there is zero tolerance. All warnings will be sent in the form of a PM. If you cant follow the rules after that you will be banned and an email will be sent informing you of the banning. AcuraZine Staff reserve the right to determine whether any post is in violation of these guidelines.

Thank you for your cooperation.

TL Moderating Team
The OP asked a legitimate question. You referred to the OP as quite possibly being a douchebag. Get it now?

^I didn't say the OP being a douche. When I mentioned the term "you" i meant "whoever that is doing so".

This just doesnt apply to Acuras.. cuz if you take a look at alot of cars on the roads with projector lights at night. I'm sure u will find alot of cars with not properly alligned beams.(one side high and one side aimming low..etc)

That's right, 3G has clear lens. Acura drops clear lens in 4G.
