Question Adjusting tilt on bi-xenon's

Under the hood above the bi-xenon bulb is a grey tab covering the screw to adjust the tilt of the xenon's ....turning it clockwise moves it up or down? it's verrrrrrryyyyy slow it hard to tell.

Yes, but there is also another dial where you can adjust left and right. Park your car about 20 ft in front of a wall and adjust it. Make sure the ground is not elevated.

Hope it helps.

The covering tab is ONLY to be found on US spec headlights and is covered to prevent people from adjusting it. That tab (there are 2 on each headlight) is to adjust the angle ____/ in euro spec headlights from left to right and since the US lightpattern does not have that angle, the lights don't have to be adjusted right-left wise (won't bring you anything).

The covered tab has to stay covered and forget about it...that second lower placed 13mm tab is to be used for the light height adjusting...it will adjust a lot quicker!!!

Steve,
what's the purpose of that angle? I got Euro Bi-Xenon from you, and can you tell me how do I adjust correctly?
thanx

Xenon Adjustment

Sorry...I'm missing the adjustment method here. I need to raise my '02 xenon lights after lowering my car. It sounds to me like the bi-xenon and xenon adjust the same way but can someone help me with specifics on how to raise the level of my headlights?

Thanks in advance

The upwards going angle needs to be set somewhere close to the edge of the road...you can adjust it further left or right with the higher positioned 13mm tab on the euro spec (not US spec) (bi) xenon lights...from factory these angles are pretty well aimed...
