t2ggg Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Does the little screw device behind the horizontal leveler moves headlights right and left? Does the long screw on the back of the light adjust the vertical? How do you turn the horizontal screw- by hand? seems tight. Do you use use a wrench to adjust vertical. Son bumped someone lightly and he thinks lights are out of adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 check the adjustment against a wall or garage door first and while you are adjusting if the car is not level the green levels won't help you if a mount is broken then they will never be able to use the levels properly again the ones with a cylinder behind the headlights and red lines around it adjusts up and down the other is left right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedesnatr Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 check the adjustment against a wall or garage door first and while you are adjusting if the car is not level the green levels won't help you if a mount is broken then they will never be able to use the levels properly again the ones with a cylinder behind the headlights and red lines around it adjusts up and down the other is left right Im looking to adjust my lights on a 93 es300 and I just want to make sure im doing it right. I can see the adjustment behind the lamp for left and right adjustment but where is the adjustment for up and down? Ive done the wall test and the lights are very low. Is the best way to adjust them with a screwdiver because they do seem tight, like the last guy said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Until the plastic breaks off. Then you use something along the size of a 5/16ths socket if I remember mine right. Park on level ground 20' from a wall. Measure the distance from theground to the imprinted dot on the lenses infront of your low beam projector (in the middle of the projector). Measure the distance from the ground to the top of the cut-off. It should not be perfectly flat (Center of the beam at the same height). You want them pointed down somewhat. Projectors give more intense light nearer their greatest light distrobution. Tho with the stock halogen lighting, the light drops off from the center on out fairly quickly. A hair quicker than the Camry's Reflective housing in my opinion. Grab a set of $5-7 9005 Sylvania bulbs, melt, filt, or grind the one offending tap off so you can insert them into the 9006 low beam socket. 9005/h3's lack the black reflective coating to reduce glare on the tip. (Not needed), and they produce 1700 lumen instead of 1000 lumen of output compaired to 9006/h4 (Normal low-beam) What translates into is about a 15-20% light gain across the board. It's not signifigant... But it is a noticeable improvement. And that basically means after a year's runtime, you've still got about the same loutput as a brand new 9006 would have. Ofcorse compaired to D2S HID's @ 35w, they give 3200 lumen. And at 50w they give 5,200 lumen. :) I love me's some HID's LoL!!!!!!!!!!!

Fedesnatr Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 thanks for the advice but where are the two adjustments?

Toysrme Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Download the repair manual, or check your car manal. It's the only other stalk on there for you to turn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
