Headlights half up on 89-94 240SX

[drifts14x]

Hey guys, I drive a 1989 240SX Coupe, I saw another S13 the other day with his headlights halfway between up and down, and it looked pretty cool, I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to pull that off on my 240. Any advice is welcome, thanks.

I did the mod for free... no switches no nothing.

Open your hood... turn on the lights... now they are up. look to the inside edge of the lights where the linkage is... you'll notice how the linkage has threads... loosen the nuts on both ends, turn the shaft out a bit. turn off the lights... now look, are the lights high enough? turn on the lights, adjust to suit your needs... do the other side. If you run out of linkage, loosen the light cover ( 4 10mm bolts ) and adjust the cover to get the angle right. You'll need to re aim the headlights. What I did was adjust mine so the bulbs just broke plumb. I have no problems. They go up and down just fine and close about 2.75" from where stock would be.

hope this helps.
