Hey everyone, I hope this day finds you all well. My question is, I noticed my driver side high beam is slightly lower than my passenger side. I have the hid`s and I didnt want to play around (start turning screws) Does anyone know which screws are the right one`s to adjust the high beam higher?


Thanks,
Ryan

I think those screws move the entire housing up and down, so you can't just adjust the high beam (I think ...)

Typically, though, the driver's side is aimed a bit lower to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers (low and high beam). You can really see this difference in aim (on my RX anyway) with the HID low beams - the pattern on the road almost looks like a giant step between the beam of the driver's side and passenger side (a step up from the driver's beam to the passenger's beam.

Oh oh...good thing you didn't. I just remembered something from my service manual.....if you turn one of the screws (forget which one, without looking for the manual) you have to turn the other one the same number of turns multiplied by 3.14 (or something..I forget the exact amount..but I'm not making this up)

x 1.25... you had the right idea though.

So I can do this myself? I like my dealer very much, but if I can do this myself and save the cash. I might try it.

Needs to be done on a flat surface and should be done facing a flat wall where you can see the adjustment as you are making it. Shops usually have a setup for doing this.
