Hey guys,

I just picked up a 93 LE 240sx. And the headlights are pointing way up into the sky and one is way lower than the other. I noticed that when the headlights are poped up there is a screw at the bottom of the assembly, i tried turning it witht he lights on a white wall but nothing happend..

How do i aim my headlights, where are the adjustment screws?

Thanks!:D

You have to reach into the plastic headlight trim to get to the screws. When I got my 240 one of the screws had slipped out of the slot it supposed to be in, thus I was turning the screw and nothing else. Take off the plastic trim, it has two screws on each side of the light, and check the adj. screw to see if it's out of it's slot. It's also easier to adj. the headlight with the trim off.

Haven't had to adj. my lights for a while, this is the best I can recall.
