headlights facing down?
Just me or are the headlights facing a little more down then they should be? How adjustable are the bulbs (i'm assuming that's what is causing this)? Is it something that could have gotten knocked out of place?
I still have a pretty decent view in the dark but I'm feeling like I should be seeing a little further.. I only really notice it on really dark roads at night.

Happened to me once. I don't know if it's possible to fix by adjusting our bulbs because when we turn on the engine you see the bulb adjust itself by moving up then down. I took it to the dealer and they fixed it for me really quick.

i've felt that it pointed low for the longest time. and just thought it was all in my head and that it probably shines a lot more than a car without HIDs

Went through speed pumps really fast once and the headlight reflector was knocked out of its socket ! i though I broke it. i just tried to and succeeded in pulling back in place through the back of the headlight assy

Same here. Lights should def come up a bit more. Dark roads I feel the lighting is inadequate..going to check and see if there is adjusters. Than just pull it up to my garage door, and bring the beams up a little bit.

Hey guys need some help.. Can anyone tell me what direction I turn the driver side headlight to raise it? As per previous post, its stripped I can turn it now with a bigger screwdriver but I don't wanna waste time turning it the wrong way and not being able to turn it the way I'm supposed to.. Any help would be appreciated
