i noticed when i was driving at night that one headlight is aimed higher than the other, i know on wrx's the headlights get misaligned, do j30's do the same thing?

There is one screw to adjust the hight. Pull about 10 feet from a wall and you will be able to see how to adjust them.

The screws are fairly tight so I don't think they will get misaligned by themself.

There's a black plastic hex head sticking out of the back of the headlight assembly cover, I think it's 8mm or so. Go easy with it, it may be seized from all the years. I forget which way goes which, but it's obvious. If you use a brick wall, the lines help. You want the low beams to be level as you back away from the wall, and the highs will take care of themselves.

I need help in this area too. Mine 93 J30 are almost like they are reversed. The lows are way high, highs just light up the road infront of the car. Do they adjust seperately or together? Thanks
