headlamp adjustment

drecian · 12-04-2005, 10:12 PM

are there any adjustment screws for the headlamps, and specifically, the fog lamps? on my previous car ('00 mazda 626) there were little screws that let you adjust eh height and direction of the beam...

thanx in advance

If your car is still under warranty I would recommend taking it in and having it done by a dealer. It should be covered. If you have HID headlights you may need to take it in anyway because I don't think you can do them yourself. The HID headlights have a leveling sensor in the back that enters into the aiming procedure.

If you have halogen headlights check your owners manual, I seem to remember something in there about aiming them? I'm not sure because I didn't pay any attention, I have HIDs.

Do a search on this web site for HID and for Halogen, also try fog lamps or fog lights. Some good infornmation there, mostly in the Care and Maintenance and Troubleshooting Forum.

Good Luck
