alignment projector

kjh_style · August 14th, 2008, 10:56 PM

i tried to align headlight(projector), which aims very low

i could find only one bolt, but that didn't make my light to go up or down

so i need help on figuring out the bolt that makes light to move up and down(helpful if there's any that makes it left and right)

pics will help thanks

On my 3g's projectors it was only up and down control the left to right wasnt an option. Maybe on the 4g its differant.

I have been fighting with the alignment of my projectors for a few days and there are 2 bolts, one on each side of the projector. From what I gathered, you have to do it somewhat in unison. You can move one a little bit and then you have to move the other. You can get to it but you have to look real hard by the back of the light, or go from underneath which means you have to remove the inner fender and reach up in there.

One of the bolts moves the light up and to the left, and the other moves it down and to the right. Its not exactly easy but you just have to move them a little a take it from there....sorry I cant be much more help

i got the same headlights dude you cant adjust up and down only left and right. to aim the lights up or down you have to take the bumper back off and tilt the light where you want it and bolt it in, that solved my problem

After messing with my lights for a while, there is a way to adjust up and down, and left and right. On either side of where the bulb goes in the projector, there is a screw, and the one closest to the engine adjusts the lights left and right, and there is another one closer to the fender that adjusts it up and down and its not easy to get to but it can be done.

You need a long extension and a u-joint, the one that swivels the socket, and an 8mm socket. To get to the screw closest to the fender you have to reach in an find and make sure you can keep the socket on it.

Hope this helps!

i adjusted mine just fiine i think you use an 8mm to adjust it the ones on the inside i think adjust it up and down towards the fender.

there is up and down. Left and right.

Its a real bitch to fit your hand in there and twist.

Good luck.
