2010 headlight height

Habiru · 09-18-2009, 10:36 PM

Does anyone know if you can adjust the height of the low beams? I have read the manual cover to cover (yeah I am one of those) but I am unable to determine how/if this can be done. If someone knows how could you post a pic of where under the hood I should be looking?

Yes, the lights can be raised. You cannot raise just the low beam, however. Look under the hood at the right and left light. Between the bulbs a black plastic shape protudes back towards the rear. In the center of the projection is a hex nut (3/8" as I recall). Turning the nut counter clockwise will raise the lights.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info I'll give it a look.

Keep in mind that this does not change the headlight height, but simply adjusts the alignment.
