Can anyone tell (or even show) where the front headlight adjustment is? Is it easy to access, or do you have to disassemble the front bumper to get at it?

Thanks.

 

Very easy to access. Just open the hood, you will find a hole on the top of each headlamp with a plastic adjustment screw underneath it, where you can use a hex L wrench key to adjust.

Is your low beam too high?

 

Thanks, I will look for that. I find my low beams just a tad too low. I get the feeling that with this vehicle being so high, that the requirement for the beam to hit the ground at a certain distance causes it to cut off abruptly at that point. Am I correct that tightening the screw raises the beam?

 

Pull up to a wall and adjust the screw....you'll be able to see.it.move up or.down.

Clockwise raises the light, counterclockwise lowers it. Just make sure you're not too close to the wall or else it'll look like the light isn't adjusting when in reality it's pointing at the ground or to the heavens. 25 feet away is the optimal distance. Also, very important, there is most likely also a side to side adjustment. Make sure you're adjusting the correct screw. If you need to adjust the beam horizontally, do that first because adjusting horizontally also changes the vertical adjustment a bit as well. Always make vertical adjustments last. Try to be on level pavement as well. Have fun!

 

Well, hate to break it to you, but to raise the headlights, you turn counter-clockwise. I didn't see any side adjustment. Also, the adjustment requires a long, large, Phillips screwdriver. The Phillips receptacle is just a piece of blue plastic. And while I got the passenger side adjusted ok, the driver's side striped (and very easily), so I guess that one will have to stay where it is. :-(

 

If you used an L-Wrench, it would have not striped! It is worth trying the L-Wrench on the striped screw, it might still work.

 

If you mean a hex key, I don't have one anywhere near that long. Staring down at it, it sure looked like a phillips receptacle. I might be able to get a long flat head screwdriver on it and create some twist. Oh for the days when metal screws were the norm...

 

Yes, hex key is what I mean, normal hex keys are tall enough to reach the screw. Be careful, you don't want to further strip the adjustment screw with a flat-head.
