DC5R - Adjusting HID beams

[cupnoodle]

Hi all,

Very very quick question. I'm trying to lower the right side headlight, but can't seem to locate the screws to lower them. Another forum member informed me that there should be some screws behind the headlight casing. Most of what's behind the headlight appears to be inaccessible by hand anyway.

Was wondering where it is specifically behind the headlight and if it's necessary to take the entire headlight casing out to adjust? Much appreciated

You access it from the top. You should see a little metal wheel with teeth if you look down at the headlights from the top. It is just behind the plastic.

Hey Aaron,

I found the metal wheel with teeth as you described. But rotating this wheel had no effect on the direction of lighting? Could you please clarify? Much appreciated! :thumbsup:

It should adjust the beam up and down. You need to park your car in front of a wall about 6 meters away.

Thanks Aaron. So it wouldn't be noticeable with the wall about a metre away? I barely noticed any change, if any at all. Will try approx 6m tomorrow night

I can't tell the difference from 1 meter away, so that could be the problem.

The left side is supposed to be higher than the right. So you don't need to adjust it unless you installed cheap H bulb HIDs.

What are H bulbs?

H1 or H4 bulb HID kits. They tend to be blinding because they are not designed properly like real HIDs which use D2S and D2R bulbs.
