I havent looked at the backside headlight housing yet but if its anything like my 08 STI, there should be an 8mm or 10mm white plastic nut on the backside of the headlight which allows you to adjust the beam height. Be sure to double check and note what your interior switch is set at before you go adjusting so you dont adjust one way too much.

This picture is from a standard FRS headlight, but i'm gonna guess that its gonna be about the same on the 10 series.

It was a blast with stock tires. 30 miles of sliding was a little nerve racking.

The kicker was that he has plenty of space to park further away from my car, as the spots on either side of us were vacant for at least 2 cars. He just decided to park very close to me and be a complete ****bag.

No damage that I can see, just a very light scuff that polish should take care of, but fuck people.


Glad to see the holiday spirit is still alive and well
I would have taken my mag light to his taillights as soon as he was out of sight.
