theres a small screw inside in the headlight unit, you can get through to it under the bonnet, its located near the guard.

use a phillips head to adjust it.

I don't have any pics atm, I did my research on s2ki and found heaps of useful diagrams.

You can't adjust them both caus they both need to be different, Passenger side always should point higher then Driver side.

Oh daym LOL
Have you tried to fully point the driver side down?
I never tried with my car but with my mates s15, when we point it down to a certain point it starts to go sideways insted LOL makes it even worse.

an i swear its annoying, ok i have adjusted my head lights but the left hand side is too low and the right is still to high i think im just gonna have to live with it

_______/''''''''''''''''''''''' thats what it looks like usdm but because we drive left hand side the right hand side is higher blind on coming traffic

audm is like '''''''''''''''''''''\_________ this because we drive on the left hand side the right hand side is lower so we dont blind oncoming cars

I dont know why I dont have this problem, mine are higher on the drivers side, but not blinding motorists. I have driven opposite my car to check. And have never been high beamed.

You could always bake your headlights and replace the cutoff with AUDM.

Same. I don't have a problem either - I mean, nobody high beams me back in anger LOL.

I actually find it also has better lighting due to the larger amount of lighting being thrown on the drivers peripheral side.

Where is Heasmans? What do they do?

How much do you think it will cost for a wheel alignment?
