Adjusting headlights
Idk if this is the right place for this, but how do you adjust the up down on the headlight of the FRS. I just installed hids and would like to aim them down a bit. Ive tried searching and couldnt find anything, checked the manual aswell.

The cutoff goes up or down as you aim the lights up or down.

Since Photobucket stopped working, can we get a refreshed tututorial? I need to adjust my headlights horizontally and vertically. . . And what I'm seeing is not consistent with what I'm reading in that linked post.

So this handles up and down. But how do you horizontally adjust it?
blog: I had a fender bender a while ago and got new headlights among other parts, but they didn't replace the aluminum beam that runs along the top. I suspect it might be ever slightly warped that it might cause these headlights to be misaligned. It's not super bad, but its noticible especially since the stock headlight angles were so perfectly flat from the factory. If that bar is warped, is there any other way I could adjust the headlight direction? Or should I look into getting a new beam that aligns all these parts? Maybe get a mallet and whack it back into shape lol? |

Hmmm.. I'll have a close look at mine as soon as Mrs. Ultra gets home from the fabric store in Portland. We traded so I could look for a suspension related pop in her Camry.
I have the standard halogens but there might be enough similarity.
