On of my headlights is projecting much higher than the other. How can I
adjust the one down.

Thanks,

grumpy

Usually that can be accomplished by turning the adjustment screw. Or maybe a
big hammer. Or maybe set ole Roy on one side or the other. Or maybe what
kind of vehical so we can get a little more specific. <VBG>

You might want to check the manual for a hint.

ride. Will it ever end? <BFG>

damage.

You'll have to forgive the two old ladies here.... sometimes they forget
the whole world's watching their private conversations Smile

At any rate, there are adjusting screws for the headlight bucket - one will
either be on top or bottom, and one will be on either the left or right
side. They're usually Torx screws. If there's one on top, for example,
tightening it will move the beam up - loosening it will move the beam down.

Park about 10 feet away from a decently reflective surface (a white garage
door works fine), and with the headlights on, adjust the beam until it looks
about even.

I like to go to a dark country lane type setting after that so I can check
them in real conditions. What looks good on the garage door might be
waaaaay off for driving. Particularly the right/left adjustment that will
determine if they shine directly into oncoming driver's eyes. Remember to
check BOTH high and low beams.

Your close. The rule is " Never let friendship stand in the way of a good
cheap shot" The chubby, floppy eared guy really believes in this rule.
