It seems that I **** off alot of drivers when I drive behind them. My lights pretty much bright up the whole inside of the person's car infront of me. Did our cars come this bright stock?

 

aim your lights................

 

sorry stupid question

 

yup u got to adjust them make um lower and if u dont kno how theres 2 screws just screw till they at the hieght u like like park u car in front of sumthing so u kno where the lights pointing to

 

Yeah

to make this thread somewhat useful, this is for the ones like myself who didn't know about aiming headlights

Aiming Your Headlights

 

Yeap, but isn't it so much worse when anything with HID's or Xenon bulbs are behind us? =) I know I get blinded lol

 

i have stock lights and people think that I have my brights on

 

shouldn't be the case ... unless they are towing a boat or have dead bodies in the trunk.. HID lights should'nt be in your eyes from behind. my other cars an s2000.. its not blinding.. people who retrofit into non-HID/xenon cars blind other people.... hids are xenon lamps btw

 

Where are the screws?

 

they should be rite next to lamp
like one on top one on side

 

 

any help?

 

ugh thanks for confirming...

the one on the side...the screw is missing

and the one on the bottom is stripped

 

dang like im to lazy to see where my screws are but isnt their one on top not the bottom?
like in picture

 

my rx7 outside but im tired to go check lol cus i think its on top and on side im not shure though

 

wow, i was just gonna search for this tonite!!!! thanks...my headlights point everyway but straight.

 

Yeah I've already searched, only found about two threads.

Ok, I went and took a quick snapshot on the missing screw and the stripped screw of the driver's side headlight.



LEFT SIDE (Which is missing)



BOTTOM (Is stripped and won't budge)

Please don't flame me for getting these wrong

 

dam thats fucken stripped
u can either cut philip shape cut into screw or just drill screw out sumhow mayb other ppl got other advice to give and yup those are the screws i went out side to check it out lol

 

Yeah

any suggestions?

 

how do you go about removing a screw that's stripped like that? the screws on my headlight covers are like that and i'd like to get them off

 

use a dremel ( or a rattail file) to cut a slot down the middle of the head. than get a flathead screwdriver and turn the screw out of the hole. pretty easy, with the right tools.

 

ill try that, thanks!

on an unrelated note, where do I go about finding a heavy duty headlight harness for a S4 TII?

 

They should be the same as the NA S4, so the junk yard will do....


gil...

 

If you can get a good look at the plastic nut, most parts stores will have replacement nut & screw kits in the miscellaneous body parts section.

 

romove the screw with alot of lubricant, PB Blaster, liquid wrench, kroil etc. and then use a dremel type rotary tool to cut a slot completeley across the screw head and use the largest flat blade driver you can fit.

hope this helps,
