headlight aim

[bing]

ever since i got the car my left light is aimed higher than the other, it also seems brighter, will new lights fix it, or is it a result from a tap on the front end???

[bing]

thanks for the reply, no wait, fuck you... lol

Adjust the screw that sticks out from the black plastic headlight cover. &nbsp;Lower or higher it at your will.

hehe, I wasn't trying to antagonize you, it's just that i've been trying to find out the aiming measurements for this car since I bought it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I have no clue how I should aim mine either. They were way to low so I put them up a bit...hopefully not too much *shrugs* I can see better now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> but I dono if I piss people off or not. Can't be worse than a properly aimed SUV though.

hey tranny i was kidding, i love you, dont be mad

seriously though... my one light faces directly into the rear view mirror of who ever is in front of me and it sucks at night when im crusin with my friends and no one wants to be in front of me...

i was gonna get new lights, probably good ones but i probably cant afford the diamond cut ones, however i would like xenons.... any suggestions???

Kid Z, could be more specific if possible???

Its in your owners manual assuming you still have one.
If not you can buy one at your local nissan dealer, I don't think they are very expensive.

thanks...

i have the same problem with my pop up lights. i solved it the easy way. i rear end a mini van. not only were my lights fixed but i got a new front end and hood at the same time.

[bing]

maybe i'll try that, oh wait no i like life

There should be screws somewhere on your lights to adjust them. &nbsp;Check also the light bulb inserts for looseness. &nbsp;Other than that, pull in front of a garage door, and adjust the screws accordingly, and watch where the beam pattern moves to.

I have the same question but for the 1998 240SX. My driver side light is pointing lower than the other one.

[misnomer]

On yonder s13 there are two screws, one under the lamp, one to the outside of the car. Screw in both a bit, should alleviate the aiming problem.

[zephyr]

if you screw in the one on the outer edge of the light housing it will aim the lights outwards away from the car and if you screw in the ones at the bottom it will lower the beam. &nbsp;If you want to raise the beam or move them inwards just unscrew them a little and push the opposite side to make it slide on the screw.
It's not too hard to take the whole assembly out and fix it like that either
mine are kinda f'd up

[bing]

i must say this has been very helpful though i havent gone out to my car yet, i'll try it thanks

but there are specific measurements that you are supposed to use. Are those in the manual?
