ever since 9007 mod....
Hi boys, ever since I did the 9007 mod, I've been getting flashed the high beams occasionally. I think with the different beam pattern, I need to aim them down a bit. I did look in the " How To" section, but couldn't find how to aim them down a tad. I think it's one of the long screw things you turn to adjust. But which one aims up and down and which one aims left and right? Thanks in advance for the quick answer.

When I did the 9007 on my max, I had to aim the headlights down a tad. They were aimed up a bit because of the different bulbs. Shine the lights at a wall straight on when you are parked about 20-30 feet away and use the adjusters to aim them down a bit.

Update: I went to the place I get my inspection sticker and he told me to pull into the inspection bay and line up the lights on the board. From what he told me, they're exactly where they should be to the inch. He said that the occasional flashing I'm getting from on coming traffic is probably because they're bright, not because they're out of alignment. So I guess these fart knockers who are flashing me are just gonna have to deal, because there are a lot more brighter and blinding headlights out there compared to my 9007's.

I don't have a problem with my head lights. I did have to lower them a bit, but i never get flashed or complaints, even when driving behind friends.

i don't know wtf you're talking about the the beam pattern is the SAME. You're not changing the reflective housing, you're just amping up the light output.

To the OP, the reason your getting flashed is because of the glare or scattered light that makes your lights appear brighter to YOU but also shines in on comming traffic's line of sight. In fact you are causing a hazard to other drivers on the road.
The 9007 conversion put the light output axis 90 degrees off, which distroys the already poor beam pattern of your headlights.
