Help with adjusting headlights
I just installed PIAA Xtreme whites in my headlights, fog lights and Polarg's in my front corners on my 00 GLE. I tested them and one of the headlights in slightly off center. I know how to adust the fog lights but how do you adjust the alignmenton the headlights? Any help would be cool.

There's an 8mm white plastic screw that you turn to adjust your headlights.

Yes it is true with the 02-03's, go pop open the hood and look behind the hid's and there is the white plastic screw that rasies and lowers. There is also a way to adjust left to right as well.

UCF_94lude,I don't really need to adjust the HID lighting from left to right,Although that is useful info. How do you adjust the white 8mm screw to make the lighting go up/down.(For ex:Turn it left,right???) Also,what is the proper way to adjust them to stock???(For ex: I don't want to raise the lighting too high,don't want to **** off on-coming traffic etc. I just want it back to stock spec.

I believe counter clockwise raises them.. Its been a while since I did it. Just experiment with it. Also it's not that sensitive, so it might take a few full turns to notice any difference. Just wait til its night and go somewhere where its perfectly level ground and park in front of a wall so you can see how high each light is. Then adjust accordingly. Afterwards, if you get people flashing their lights at you, then it might be too high.
