I need to know how to adjust my headlights on my 95 240sx from pointing at the ground. Having H.I.D.'s is almost pointless when they're not aimed properly. I have googled this but no luck. I have also searched. Maybe I missed it...I dont know. If someone could at least point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanx in advance!

it's a head light. it's got mounting hardware and adjustment screws. just look at it, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what does what.

I feel you but there's a few screws on the headlight and I just didnt want to be a dumba** and start screwing and unscrewing them all and risk messing something up. I usually just read this forum but decided to post this time because I thought I could get some useful info here on NICO vs. other sites but it seems like no one else really has any info on the topic either. Ive looked at the headlights and if I saw how to adjust them for SURE I would have just did it and wouldnt have felt the need for this post. I just wanna know for SURE before I start messing around with it. Thanx tho.

There are two adjustment screws, one at the end of the headlight (towards outside of the car), the other is next to the water meter thing. The first one adjust from left to right, the other one adjust up and down.

The ghetto way to do it: get yourself to a wall with at least 40ft of ground between the car and the wall. Make sure the ground and the wall is perpendicular. Then turn your headlights on. You will see 2 marks on the wall by the lights. Adjust them until they are good.

P.S. Hids in older headlights will not have beam patterns properly anyways...
