How to raise the stock front lights?

I've noticed in some FD photos that the ligths are raised only a few inches.

What's the procedure to do this?

I could tell you, but you'd have to slap a large 'JDM TYTE' sticker on your rear bumper

Pop your hood, inside each front corner of the engine bay you'll find the manual devices for raising/lowering the lights. They look kind of like ****** pointing up into the sky.

They have a big black stepped cap on them, remove the cap and you'll see a red dial. Twist this spiffy dial to start your magical journey into DriftWerld......

To follow up on Goodfella's comments...you may have to pull the head light retractor fuse or unplug the motors, otherwise the lights may try to reset them selves in the down position. I know mine do when I start twisting the **** and everything is plugged in. (I'm not sure if the retractor fuse will do it...i've always just unplugged the motors...)

I hope you realize that you use your headlights to SEE AT NIGHT.

Lowering their angle will eliminate your ability to do that. Good luck

Wow, I thought when ppl do that, they increased the angle when the lights are lowered not decreased from when they are up. That kinda sucks.

Are you saying that your lights were not going down all the way? Or they would not raise up all the way?
