...but that's nothing new.



So my lights point toward the trees. No really, I drive down a dark street, and the road is dark, but I'm lighting up the trees above me. I've turned every screw I can find, but it doesn't seem to help. Plus I have to real gauge when I'm parked in my driveway. How are they adjusted/aligned? What's the best way to adjust/align the headlights?

I'll see if I can do that. Last I checked, I couldn't even find a bottom screw on one of the headlights (hole was there, just no screw).



wait, damn. that's why I have a parts car! I'll just yank the spare screw. Sometimes I forget that hunk of junk is sitting in my yard.

there is one screw on the top, it adjusts up and down depending on which way you turn it.



there is another screw on the side that adjusts the light side to side.

thanks, now I'll be sure not to accidently unscrew something that should remain screwed
