Replying to: jeff721 (Jan 27, 2006 5:30 pm) They are totally adjustable and everything works after the adjustment. Some dealers will adjust them. If you can find a dealer who will do it, you can ask the dealer to raise them 1 or 2 inches (as measured at the location where they typically measure them, some distance away from the car). Other forums have some pictures and threads covering this (no links allowed here), and many people have adjusted them themselves, all with good effect. I've raised them myself, and I'm quite happy with them. If you open the hood, and remove the plastic covers on each side of the engine, (there are clips that release when you pull the covers up) you'll see a large silver cog wheel right up against the headlight casing, on each side. Next to each cog wheel is a hole where you can insert, pointing straight down, a medium to large phillips head screw driver. You'll need to raise both sides, and typically the right side can be a little higher, since it's less prone to blind an oncoming driver. (You're tying to balance your visibility and the effect on other drivers.) Turning counter clockwise raises the beams. With a magic marker, make a mark on the big cog wheel, and watch it turn (as you watch the headlights raise on a wall about 6 feet away from your car.) Most people need to turn the large cog wheel about 1.25 to 2 full rotations. One person was happy only after 4 complete rotations. Try 1.5 rotations, see how you like it when driving, and go from there. Note that the high beams go up when the low beams go up, but there's a place with a decent balance. I haven't yet heard of a way to adjust them independently. Pete |
