I got a used rear set of tokico illuminas for cheap and I dont know how to adjust them? They said its as easy as 1-2-3, all I had to do was just use a screwdriver, but I dont see any detents or anything. If possible can i get some info on how to adjust them?

Thanks

On my Cobra, the Illumina adjustment is on the top of the shock/strut. You need a small (#0 or #1) flat head screwdriver. There are 5 settings numbered from 1-5. All the way counter clockwise is 1 (the softest setting). Click clockwise to make firmer adjustment. I am not near my car but I don't think the adjustment screw turns 360 degrees. My Illuminas came with a red cam that fits on top the the adjustment screw to show what number you're on.
