I did a search and found no post about this. I did find out that you have to wait fifteen seconds between running searches. One of my headlights seem to shine about 5-6 feet in front of the car and the other shines like it should and illuminates the road. Have you guys had to adjust your headlights, are they adjustable?

The adjustment screws are on the back side of the headlight assembly near the bulbs, take the plastic cover off to access that area.

All headlights are adjustable since 1912 or so.Follow detailed instructions in service manual.

Make sure you use your weight equivalent in front seat as the Q will drop [drivers light] on the drivers side roughly 1/2" per 150 pounds of seat weight.

Do you set the lights for just you the driver or for a passanger or rear seat passengers....700 pounds will drop the whole car......1.3 inches.................full to empty the rear/front changes 0.53" .

Set them with a 1/2 tank of gasoline and what ever you normally carry in trunk.
