Headlight help??

[Theiranman69]

Ok this may seem like a noob question, but... How the hell to I aim my headlights??? because after i got the H&R's installed my headlights aim significantly lower, cutting my vision in the rain... so how do I aim them? any ideas? or do i have to go through the wheel well?

i think you would have to go thru the wheel well, cuz it doesn't look like you can adjust much from the engine bay. i believe there should be a lil white knob sticking out.(not sure tho, haven't adjusted my lights, they're both even right now)

Thats really very serious thing...you need your whole headlights to be replaced as it is very important parts of the vehicle and you should not take any chance in it

Hummm Good Question - I'll have to go outside & look at mine & see if I can figure it out. The owners manual was no help ... page 8-26 says:

Aiming is not necessary after replacingthe bulb. When aiming adjustment isnecessary, contact a NISSAN dealer.

[Theiranman69]

I know I saw that. but it also doesn't realize is that when i put my bulbs in i hadn't lowered my car, and the H&R's drop the front more than the back, so my headlights are pretty much aiming a good 3-4 inches lower.

there is a headlight adjustment screw built into the headlights. if i remember correctly it's a green screw which you can barely see if you look directly down at the back of the headlight.

do i have to go through the wheel well or can i just open my hood?

I don't have a picture of the headlight under the hood so I'll try to describe it to you from memory.

Pop up the hood and look at the back of driver's side headlight, the portion that gets covered up when the hood is closed. The headlight is secured to the car's metal frame with a black plastic tab. Look at that metal frame, it has several holes on top of it. One of the holes is larger and oval rather than circular like the rest. Look directly down on it and you can probably see (a little hard) a green plastic Phillip head screw. Take a Phillip screw driver and turn it counter clockwise (if I remember it correctly) to raise the headlight. Same with the passenger side's headlight.
