Where, How To Adjust Std. Headlights on 05 Prius

kenkneeb · 01-27-2006, 02:18 AM

Where, How To Adjust Std. Headlights on 05 Prius as they were aligned too high from factory and I want to reset them myself. I've looked everywhere under the hood and on this board too, and I can't find a reference for adjusting/realigning for the 05. The info on the 04 didn't seem to pertain as it mentioned removing the radiator support and adjusting a philips screw, however the headlights are quite far away from the radiator support.

Any help, pictures, movies, guided tours, would be greatly appreciated.

Tanks a mucho.

quick question is there an oblong kidney bean shaped plastic snap in cover on the drivers side of the black rad support cover on the 2k5's?

Nope no Kidney bean shaped plastic snap in the cover of the driver's side read support cover.
Such a mystery! Any other thoughts?

The owner's manual states how to adjust the headlight aim. You'll need a screwdriver. It's near the pages where they tell you how to remove the bulbs.

I have an 05, there's no info in the 05 user manual.

hmm, interesting. I have the 04 manual on my home computer but I won't be home til later this evening. Perhaps someone else with an 04 manual can give you the exact location. Either that or they removed that feature for 05.

kenkneeb · 01-27-2006, 12:37 PM

thanks, I'll double check the manual, as maybe they hid the info somewhere els.
