#38134, "Dual projector adjustment"




          

Does anyone know how to adjust the apc dual projector headlights down? They are driving me crazy! I've twisted all the knobs and they still don't move.

If they are the newest ones the thumb screw things (there are four per light) are used. You would twist the top ones in to lower them. You may have them all twisted in too much which would press the lamp assembly against the lens and it would not adjust. Try backing them off until the assembly starts moving. I also pulled up in front of a wall to help me see the effect as I turned the screws.

Question for you, how well do yours match up with the fender is there a gap that the rubber gasket doesn't quite span?

Alright, maybe I have to bottom screws too tight. There is a significant gap on the driver side between the light and the fender. I'll try loosening the bottoms screws out more tonight and see if that does anything.

Jason, I got a question for you about those lights.
Are the main headlights true projectors? do they have that convex lens on them and the light cutoff line? do they actually project a flat line and a half circle below when you flash them at say your garage or something?

thanks
James

Rest In Peace Heidi Doggy

Yeah, they are true projectors with the cutoff. The cutoff isn't the greatest so I'm going to take them apart and make a better cutoff line because the current one doesn't stop the HID that great.
