How to adjust headlights - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #55680 14 posts Started by 1990gsx
How do I correctly aim my headlights?
if you took the time to look at your headlights, you would see screws that can be turned at the back of your headlight housing. one would move it left and right and one would move it up or down.
get some headlight aimers.I need to aim mine here pretty soon.I use my HSs highway patrol headlight aimer...

BANNED. for life, you moron.
i can be bad for bumping old threads



you can use a wall to aim your headlights, aimers can cost a pretty penny (good ones) and well when you have them they never work right....

the bodyshop i used to work at does that....easy and works...you just need something to go by, so get someone you know with a new car see where their headlights are aimed and use that for yourself...

WHOA!! not trying to disprove you, just to disagree (BUT this is my personal opinion) the wall method dont work so well. I have a headlight aimed at the ground right now bc of the wall method... Maby it would work at farther distances, but.... Didnt work for me!!

The only way i know to do it; is to find a big open space with plenty of room ahead of you; and aim it that way untill it's spread is even. (Wal*Mart parking lot works great, Although walmart don't approve of working on your car in their parking lot at 11.30pm)

But i mean no offense to Feen, it's just everyone likes a different way better.

But to agree; Aimers are way too much money for too little of use.
