my car was recently worked on by the body shop (i got a whole new front end) and they did a real crappy job on aiming my headlights i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do it.

here this should help:

Google "HID-VISUAL-HEADLIGHT-AIMING-PROCEDURE.pdf"

[steveyohman2319]

that does help but i dont know how to mechanically move the headlights. like what screws do you adjust or what you know what i mean? or isnt it possible? it should be if not thats gay. haha

[mkt8891]

if u open the hood and look at the top of the headlight assembly, theres a hole in the top where u put in a phillip head screw driver and adjust up and down

k thank you! also whats a good type of bulb to use? i want a nice bright blue color but i want it so i can still see

[mkt8891]

for the best light out put get something in the 4300K rating i wouldnt go any brighter then 5000K cause it'll be more blue then light output. im using IPF 5000K xenon blue and if u dont know the bulb size its 9003/H4. heres the site i got my lights from:

hey steve,
so what was the total damage? i remember you posting that the front got wrecked.

[steveyohman2319]

oh yeah i got a whole new front end. i got a new left fender, hood, bumper, radiator, and numerous other engine parts. i think the total damage was like 2000. but i gotta take it back cuz they did something wrong cuz the gap above the one headlight is bigger than the other. but im a procrastinator so ill probably never take it in

steve, dont wait. take it right in. there is absolutley no reason why you should have to settle for that. its your car and you entusted them to fix it the right way. my cousin michelle is the office manager for a bodyshop and when my right side fender got damaged i had to take it back in for a readjustment, family or not i told her that the bodytech on my car needed to fix one last thing that he missed. you shouldnt have to be unhappy with your results.

[steveyohman2319]

yeah i know but its been awhile since they had it and i already bumped a big rock with it and i know it didnt do the damage cuz it was like that before but i know there gonna try to give some bullcrap about that its from hitting something
