Headlight adjustment

I tried turning the plastic looking screw thing and it seems like it won't budge. How do I adjust the headlights? Here's a pic I took from freshalloy of the plastic looking screw thing.

Re: Headlight adjustment

can you get to those screws under the hood or do you have to take the inner fender lining out?

Re: Headlight adjustment

You can get to them under the hood!

They are pretty visible.... above left and right side wheel well area!

Re: Headlight adjustment

well I tried it and it won't turn, I kind of messed up the white plastic piece (i tried to adjust the light on the street when it was dark and stripped the plastic)

Re: Headlight adjustment

i adjusted it but see here is the thing. If you over power it, it will break. and then it will spin freely then you cant adjust it.

If your in the LA area and have time after next Thursday i can help you out.

Re: Headlight adjustment

haha... I live far away from you... i'm in michigan.
I asked the dealership near my area. the service guy told me that the 2004 coupe's headlight can't be adjusted. the earlier models (2003) are adjustable. is this true?
mine is the 2004 model.

Re: Headlight adjustment

If you don't have a phillips screw driver that's the perfect size, you'll strip the plastic very easily.

Re: Headlight adjustment

Mr. Phillips created the one that looks like a star...
Mr. Flathead made the other one.

Re: Headlight adjustment

aaahhh... I see... Thanks for clearifying the shape. But there are many different sizes.. which size of Phillips screwdriver should I use to adjust the headlight?
