New Headlight Adjustments!?!

Caldwell · Apr 22, 2005

Sheit...
I just bought and installed new Cobra headlights and clear corners...
but they angle RIGHT to the ground.
I feel like i'm a night rider driving at night, I can't see anything!

They look cool mind you

On to my question, is there a way to adjust them without having to reinstall the headlights again?
I noticed both screws on the outside of the lights and the one on the inside of the lights, but I don't want to strip the screws by turning them...

any suggestions?

if you take off your corners, (outside corner lights) then look on the out side of the headlight, you will notice two bolts on the top and bottomish of the headlight. those will adjust the angle slightly. tigten the bottom to bring it down I belive? top to bring it up? just play with those those are the ones.

Sure, you can adjust the headlights while they're in the car. You'll need to remove the corner lights to get to the outer two screws, tho.

Just turn the upper screw to pull the lights up. Make sure the plastic part that clips into the panel isn't rotating, and you'll be cool.

The inside edge of the screw on all three should not be threaded; it should be hex-shaped. You can grab that part with pliers to adjust any of the screws.

You can adjust the inner screw to adjust your headlights if they're pointing inwards or outwards. I adjusted all three so they sit flush with the corners and are pointing the right way. Good luck.

What i wanna do, psustroker did, was get some 6mm wingnuts, and replace the ****tyass black plastic with some wingnuts. Adjustments would be a breeze. Good Luck Caldwell
