Here is a link to it (adjusting the beam patter). It is on another site though, with a diagram:

Definitely. My lamps needed to be adjusted when I realized my HIDs provided just as much ground coverage as my stock halogens. They wouldn't even project onto a wall that was 15 feet away!

1 10mm wrench and 5 minutes later, I had more road illumination than you could shake a stick at! Just avoid pointing them too high up as they may blind other drivers.

Just make sure you are adjusting them to a feasible height. Last person you'd want to blind is a cop. :beer:

Alright....I posted the link to the headlight adjustment.....I even printed it up & tried to match it with what's under the hood to make the adjustments...but I can't find the screw head to adjust it!

My lights are still too low from the factory & I really have to adjust them higher.



Help help!! :P

lol, it's not a screw. It's a 10mm nut. Look for a silver washer. The left lamp is easy to adjust, but the right one is a pain. I had to unmount my coolant resevoir to do it, but it was much easier than I thought. I did it using a 10mm socket wrench with extension.

***For those of you with Injen's CAI, the left will be a royal pain in the arse to adjust.***

I didn't need to remove anything. I used a small extension & it was done in no time flat. :liebe011:

Yeah it was simple, just went to a building, and adjusted them up more and made sure they were both level. Now it look like i'm running with 12000K high beams....so much fun! :banana:
