Adjusting Headlight Beam

[xclipse129]

I just reinstalled my headlights and now they are blinding people. I noticed that the beam is higher. Is there a way or some sort of screw to turn to adjust the height of the beam pattern. FYI when I was taking my head lights out the bottom piece that sticks out broke off.. I was thinking that is what holds it down more but isnt there a way to adjsut the beam pattern from behind the headligh itself?

Here's how to do it... I would definitely though read up on it and find out the proper way to adjust them that's is if you dont have experience aiming them. You dont want your lights out of whack on a dark raining night! that can be very dangerous...good luck

The broken bottom tabs of the headlamps may cause aiming problems even with an adequate aiming adjustment. But use the above procedure to get it close.
Driving vibrationa and road bumps may alter the adjustment because of these broken tabs.
Removing the headlamps without removing the bumper cover as required, genrally causes these broken clips. It is hard to break them otherwise.

Good luck.
