#11264, "Aiming headlights?"




          

Do the knobs on the back of the stock housings really adjust the aim? I have been turning those damn things each way for days and it doesnt fix my beam pattern any. Its getting to the point to where i'm going to shove some shims or something underneath the lights to fix it!!

Are you using a Phillips screw driver to turn the little metal knob? You should know it's working when you start feeling a bit of resistance.

If you're turning a little plastic gear with your hand (like I did once)... that ain't it.

wait till night and park ur car infront of ur garage or a blank wall about 25 ft. from the wall. turn on ur headlights and mark a spot where each low beam light is at center then switch to high beam and do the same thing. there should be 2 adjusting screws on the headlights...one for vertical and one for horizontal...just get a phillips screw driver and turn the screws till u get the beam where u want it and ur good to go. hope this helped

I used the little plastic wheel to adjust mine, the ones that are closer to the center of the car. I used the little air bubble thing on top of them to make sure they were level. I had to reaim my headlights after getting my car repaired when that asshole hit me
