How to adjust low beam?

[Shimian]

Does anyone know how to adjust the headlight low beam up and down on a Civic FD2?
I noticed a cog looking thing but it has a nut bolt on the end and cannot move it. Should i unbolt and try to move the cog? Or am i looking at the wrong place?

cheers

u are looking at the right place... use a phillips screwdriver to adjust the teeths. there has been a thread for dc2. same concept!!!

[Shimian]

ive tried to move the cog with a flat screw driver. Im scared that it will snap. Where do i put the philips head? Cos the back of it is a bolt. Unless i use a wrench?

should be under the hood, just look straight down where the head light units are and should be a small gear. stick a phillips head in and screw away. make sure both are the same level

[Shimian]

Is this what im suppose to adjust?




So i put a philips head from the back towards the bolt?

[shadou]

yeah that looks like it. I'm more used to seeing it in a car though why did you take it out of the car?

[Shimian]

and turn it willl not snap anything
whats wrong with the height of the FD headlight btw ?
u shouldn't need to adjust it man.

if you have a socket wrench that will fit inside then use that but otherwise phillips head is fine, wont snap anything, stick it in the cog and turn

I changed my stock halogens to some white halogens. It seems that the beam is aiming up high cos when i drive down the freeway, it illuminates the signs up above.

Ok. Got myself a wrench and turned that cog. Turned it one full rev left and one full rev righ. No changes in light. Any help?
