I am ready to attempt to fix my headlights as I cannot adjust them correctly. I know someone on here has done it before and I believe they just reconnected some springs. Can that person or anyone who knows exactly what to do give me a step-by-step on the process. I used the search but could not find the info. I'll take pictures of my job and post them if I am successful.

P.S. -- Stupid thought, the headlights take 9005 + 9006 bulbs right...what would happen if you put 2 high beam bulbs in the headlights? What size bulb goes in the foglights?

Thanks!!

1.) 9003ST and 9005ST (for Silverstars)

2.) You wouldn't be able to connect the harness to the bulb, so you would have no low beams.

3.) H1

Springs? None that I know of.

Don't use bulbs that draw more current than stock, you may end up with a Bar-B-Q(45).

I ghetto fabbed a spacer (washer) that I put under the lower bolts, it aimed it up just a few degreees to perfect.

I've been told you can take apart the complaex adjustor and turn the mechanism by hand tool as well.

Maybe they are H3 for the foglights. My memory fails me and the owner's manual does not specify.
