How To Reaim My Headlights. ..

The search option wouldnt work on my pc, so my bad. I have PIAA hyperwhites which is a pretty decent bulb for me. But i see the light up and ahead of me and not on the road. I would rather see the light on the road ahead of me rather than up in the trees. How do i reaim my hedlights so that they aim down towards the road a little bit. How do i reaim? Thanx

Your never going to see that much light on the road from those bulbs. The blue tint makes the light vanish on wet or dark colored pavement. The only way your gonna really see them on the raod is if they hit the ground 20 feet in front of you. But then you'll never be able to see far enough down the road to enjoy driving at night!

The Silverstars do the same thing. They light up the trees, the bushes, the signs, but not the road in front of you.

Both of these bulbs look great on your car, but neither one performs very well on the road. Before you go reaiming your lights, put a normal bulb in and see where the light hits the road.

I throw light over 35 feet down the road in front of me with a high quality standard watt halogen bulb!

Behind the headlights, you will see two metal rods with black ends sticking out on either ends of the headlights. Take an 8mm box wrench and turn the one on the outer (closest to fender) end to adjust height. The one near the grill if for left/right adjustment.
