HeadLight aim..........

Post by Pump233ca »

Took some tinkering...but finally got the Headlights pointing in a comfortable position....I can`t believe this hasn`t come to the point of Service Bullatin...I realized that the light pattern is very similar to that of some H4 Quartz Lights I had some years back....anyways the they shine further down the road.

Where is the adjustment for them? I looked EVERYWHERE behind the lights, and couldn't find anything. The ONLY thing I could find was a screw that had teeth coming down from it, but it was SO far down, I couldn't reach it, and figured that wasn't it....advice please!

I'm gonna run on the assumption it is the screw I saw...if that's the case, how can you get to it on the passenger side if you have ABS? I have the ABS boxey thing there with tons of tubies coming out of it, I can't get to that screw without hitting them. Thoughts?

It's also a bolt (and you can use a stubby screwdriver).. you can use a socket w/ rachet to get into the tight space. That's what I did, but I don't have ABS.

I would suggest not installing a CAI before aiming your lights. I just tried to do mine and the passenger side is blocked by the tube. Guess I'll try using a screw driver later.

Did I miss something? Did anyone mention a cold air intake? LOL! I think you have the wrong thread, but I could be wrong.

No, mu_ohio stated that the presence of a CAI will affect the aim adjustment of the driver's side headlight. Then you asked what CAI stood for and CrazyJ-GT responded with an answer. Everything looks ok to me.
