see above my left projector how the right cutoff starts to head upwards as it moves left? Is this normal, or does my right projector need to be adjusted?

 

Mine are like that too. I think we got the recalled headlights. I dunno if there's a way to fix it or not. If there is I wanna know myself because mine are color-nodded and it's annoying seeing one side slightly slanted upwards.

 

last time i was at the dealership i asked if the headlights were replaced per the recall and he said they were (i bought the car used from a private seller). i just wonder if when they installed the new headlights if they took the time to make sure they were properly aligned.

 

theres a DIY on here on how to align your headlights , the 06' lights headlight were on recall.

ill see if i can find the thread, it was kind of hard to do, but its not rocket science

 

couldn't find the thread but heres a written HARDER to understand version of it

Measure and place your headlight 10 meters (393.7")from a screen marked with two lines, one 8.6 cm (3.39")and another 11.3 cm (4.45")below another mark that is the same as the measured center height of your low beam bulb. I just measured and marked a cardboard box and set it on the road.

The light pattern has two distinct horizontal cut-offs, the lower one being to the left. Align the lower cut-off to shine between your two marks, and you're done.

yea according to the dealership my headlights were already replaced under that recall. i know you can adjust the beams up and down, but can you rotate them as well?

 

^ from what i know, u can adjust them up and down (with a screwdriver)

thats what i did. what u mean by rotate

 

like rotate the cutoff line clockwise or counter clockwise.

 

ive circled what im talking about in the picture below.

 

like to raise them up? im pretty sure that would require taking apart the haeadlight and baking it open and manually raising it.
dont quote me though.

but hey, if u really want to fix it u might as well call it a project and paint the inside housing, it'll look a lot better.

 

Yeah something looks off. My 06 cutoff lines looks a lot cleaner than that. And yes, My headlights were replaced under the recall.

 

yea, i thought so...ill have to ask the dealer to check the alignment when i go into to get my gas gauge problem fixed....hopefully...this will be the 3rd time ive taken it in for the gas gauge problem

 

I had a member on here color-mod my headlight to get a sharper cut off line. But My headlight are like yours. I can adjust it up and down but don't know how to rotate it.

 

Honestly, from your pic. That's what my headlights looked like b4 the recall.

I'll take some pics to verify. Don't go yelling at the dealer yet.

 

not neccessary,they should be adjustable using a 10mm(i think) or phillips sd, tighten the lower hl adjuster unitl they are even..ive had to do this a few times, since i sell headlights quite often
