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.

theres a knob you can turn with 10mm to adjust beside the light bulb socket

This just adjusts the height of the light not the cutoff, like mashing the squirrel finders does, right?

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

Wow, can't believe I couldn't find that. Thanks.

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.

@Ultramaroon you are a shining star sir

Aw, shucks. *kicks dust* :cheers:

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.

The only reason I can think of for horizontally misaligned lights is if either the bulbs or the entire housings aren't screwed in/secured properly. I put in aftermarket foglights and they weren't lined up so I fiddled with the screws and fixed it. It turned out that the stock hardware wasn't quite behaving with the new lights and that fixed it. I also put in aftermarket headlights and after fixing the wiring nightmare (something was causing a short circuit) I only had to fiddle with the headlight leveling screw to fix them

I don't see a horizontal adjustment. There may be some intentional slop in the mount points but not much. I think it depends mostly on the alignment/integrity of the radiator support. ...front clip, whatever it's called.
