Silvia headlight adjustment

[Mtndrifter14]

I've had my silvia front for three years now and the headlights are driving me nuts. I know silvia lights suck but mine need to be adjusted baaddd. I went to adjust them and there isn't a way to loosen adjust them and tighten them back up like most cars. Can you adjust the bulb or something or am I out of luck??

Did you take into consideration they are made for a RHD car, therfore the aiming is off by default?

HID retrofit. You have had them for three years and you haven't learned to live with it???

interesting fact, since the Siliva wasn't made here the DOT never approved Silvia headlights for use in the U.S., notice on American production cars all lights and lenses have D.O.T. stamped on the housing somewhere.

I dont know about yours but mine Rock, (Dual Projectors) You just need a good set of bulbs in them.
The bricks do suck though thats why they only came on the J's, But they do look soo good

But yes there is a way to adjust them on the back of the housing there are adj. screws at night shine then on a wall and make the adj. until you are happy with them

I have trips, it's probably the bulbs, but the brights are really good. Alright thanks for the help man.

There ARE adjusting screws on the back of the housing, they take an 8mm socket. I've had both bricks and tri-projectors and they all had the screws.

However, no matter how much you adjust them, they still suck and will continue to suck. Light output bad, beam pattern all wrong for LHD cars; you can't see and to make it worse you're blinding oncoming drivers.

The only real way to fix it was mentioned above - retrofit a good set of HID projectors (or halogen projectors) in place of the originals. You have to open the housing but it's not that hard.
