Default >>>>>>adjusting headlights<<<<<<

ok, i just installed my aftermarket black housings i got from procarparts. when i went to turn on my lights, my right side beam is facing up! the left side is fine. so i checked to see how can i adjust it, and haven't got the slightest clue. on the back of the housings, there is this little turning thing, but when i tried to turn it, it's real stiff, and now it's dark and raining so i can't make no more hypothesis, so anybody know how to adjust headlights?

If you had OEM I could tell you but I haven't seen the black housing ones yet. Sorry.

hmm assuming the left one is fine i'd guess you put the bulb in funky on the right.

i did the same thing with my stock headlights when i was changing a dead bulb. it pointed up at a 45 degree angle and i couldnt' get it off cause i jammed it on there. i had to unscrew the upper left screw so my headlights would move out far enough so i could pound the damn black thing off with a screw driver to refit the bulb in there.. that may work??

It's the same as the OEM...remember the black housings you ruined on my car, it's probably still in your garage.:slap:

well on mine, you need a long philips screw driver. There are these screws that has a philip head, and also, looks like claws on the side. You put the long screwdriver through the little hole on the frame of the car, and catch the side of the "claw". Just keep turning til you see results.

You do this, if you can reach the back of the screw to turn it.
