|  Headlight Adjustment
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this or not, but anyway... I was wondering how you adjust your headlights so they're straight. Last night i hit a huge 'ol pothole (didn't see it) and it knocked one of the headlights down. So now one headlight shines further than the other, and it's annoying.

Either take it to a shop (recommended) or get a shop manual with the basic instructions in it.

There will torx type screw points on the headlamps to aim them. They can be a bit of a pain to aim properly. Also if a pot hole knocked it out of alignment then you may have broken or out of position parts on the aiming system.

They're not to hard to do. I'd recommend aiming them off a wall on level ground, then adjust to the level you want. | |

Jim | Mine are set properly.
Anyways, you could get a haynes or chiltons manual. I believe they tell how to do it. | |

Sorry to harp on that one, but it's a pet peeve.

It turnes out that one of the brackets that holds the light to the car snapped off, so i went to a junkyard and reaplaced what i needed to, and everythings good now. i just got the Haynes manual, and i fixed it. i should've gotten this book earlier... it would've helped me in sooo many ways.
