Ok i just recently put on the Jdm Headlights and grill. Problem is, the light output from the headlights are high. Is there anyway i can lower them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Btw when i mean high i am referring to it like blinding people. I need to figure out a way to lower them...

There should be some adjustment screws on the lights.

Yea i lowered it all the way down, well at least i think i did. It got to late and started getting dark so i just let it be. Should i adjust the top screw or the bottom one?

I'd say go with the top one, that's generally where the vertical adjustment screw will be.

Hey thanks man. I'm going to start working on it tomorrow.

yea there are gold screws on the back of the headlight. You have to lower the driver side because the JDM beam pattern throws light onto oncoming traffic.

The light on the outside of the road is designed to throw light higher then the inner one. Japan drives on the otherside so the light pattern is reversed. This is why I haven't installed mine yet. Ill be rebuilding them with proper projectors.

Two small gold screws in a gold ring right where the bulb twists in? Those are the aiming screws?

errr I don't think it's where the bulb is, they have big wheels with 'teeth' surrounding them, those are the ones.

Sure man. Here ya go

Nightcore · 11-08-2009, 06:24 PM

Ok guys i'm still having a problem. I am turning the screws but it seems like it is just staying in the same place, well the light pattern. Also i didnt mention this before but the high beam light indicator on the inside stays on.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

niceeeeeeee

btw is it stock grill
as far as ive heard u have to change the grill, if u have to put these lights

Nightcore · 11-08-2009, 07:23 PM

Yea you have to change the grill out, well i did. The grill that i got wouldnt fit the stock headlights so i just went ahead and bought grill+headlgihts. I think its vice versa anyways.

How did you wire your headlights?

Trying to aim High-beams down is not going to work.
