headlight leveling

[jayy]

hey guys,
i recently installed HIDs on my base model CU2, after installing it i found the left side light is dipping down more than the right side. how do i adjust it? and is there a specific hight each side have to be?
thanks in advance

left side should be facing left more, right side should be slightly dipped to stop you from glarring at on coming traffic. best take the car into a mechanic to do the headlight alignment. as it has to be perfect otherwise you will put yourself and others at risk on the road.

I really hope if you installed HIDs, then you put them in a projector housing and did them properly, otherwise you'll be the tool who's blinding everyone on the road. (and everyone will be hoping you get a fine for it)

Here's a good read. http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/20-exterior-sponsored-r-speed/69869-hid-lights-reflector-housings-reminder-some-you-out-there.html

In the words of the OP, if you don't do it properly then "...you are a complete and useless ricer who shouldn't be allowed to own a car."

It's very simple to adjust your headlights and should only take 2 minutes. If you still don't want to do it yourself than any garage will do it for you. A nice one might even do it for free since it's a quick task. I'd personally try one of the smaller garages but call ahead.

thanks, i've asked around a few mechanics and they don't do headlight adjustments. Do you know any that can do it?

They're all lying. It's really simple. They probably just don't want an extra car in their garage just to adjust the headlights.

All it is, is pointing the car at the wall and turning a few screws. It's really simple, you should do it at home.

They're designed in a way that anyone can do it. You don't have to take off any trim or anything.
