I know there are a ton of posts on adjusting headlights, but I couldn't really find the answer to this question. I tried adjusting my headlights with an HID kit installed, but when I turned the screw I couldn't see any difference on the light aim. I turned the screw about 2 revolutions. I am not sure how sensitive the adjustment is but how much do I have to turn to see a difference?

Thanks!

 

You need to turn it more then 2 revs to notice a change.

 

thanks! will i be able to see the light go up and down with my turns, or is it too gradual?

also, for the left/right adjustments, do u know which direction adjusts which?

thanks a lot!

 

It's a pain to adjust the lights. I suggest holding your hand on the light itself while adjusting. This not only lets you know where its going but lets you know how far. Do the same thing, keeping the adjustments close, for both lights and take it for a test drive, at night of course. If you don't like the beam pattern your getting adjust and test drive again. Repeat process as necessary. I found this to be the easiest way. Tip: If people are flashing you all the time they might need to come down a little. Good Luck

 

what do you mean to hold my hands on the lights?

 

While your ratcheting or wrenching the adjustment ***** on the headlight just lay your free hand on the headlight lense. You'll be able to feel which way the light moves left,right, or up,down. If I'm not mistaken the adjustment **** closest to the fenders are the up/down. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean. Its much easier than eyeballing the lights on a wall. Plus by test driving you actually adjust to where you need the light.

 

Wow I never knew that about being able to feel which way the light is being adjusted. THanks i'll give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes!
