I recently bought my S2000 and i love it. I get nothing but thumbs up, compliments and stares at the S2000....and maybe me and my wife, LOL.

In any case i've noticed that my low beam HID headlights are not aligned evenly. Even my friends that see me behind them say that you can see one light higher than the other.

What can I do myself to adjust the headlights so that I can even them out?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

 

you don't even them out. The HIDs are meant to be that way.

 

It suppose to be like that. The driver's side beam is lower than the passenger side, to keep from blinding incoming cars.

Congrats on your S.

 

 

Really?! lol..

 

RTFM.

Screwdriver. You can adjust them yourself in 45 seconds.

 

true

 

It is true that the overall beam pattern is set to look like this:

from the factory. The reason is to decrease glare to oncoming traffic (which sees the left side of the pattern).

However, it is not true that the driver's side beam is aimed lower than the passenger side beam. They are both aimed the same, and each one has the same cutoff pattern shown above.

If you don't believe me, turn on your headlights against a wall, stand directly in front of one side then the other, fully blocking the beam. See what the pattern looks like from each side. It's pretty obvious.

If your friends really do see one side go bright before the other, you may want to check to make sure both lights are at the same level. The end pattern, if you look very carefully against a wall, should be like this:

Yup, driver's side is lower.
