I saw someones signature had "HID Mod" and I think its what I am looking for, just can't find ya again. I want to adjust the height so that 0 is more along the lines of 3. The cutoff is pretty crazy short distance, it just needs to be moved up a little, as I'm sure that people hear them auto adjusting from time to time,I don't want to screw up the auto-aiming, just give myself some more height.

P.S. for those of you who do allot of I-95 type highway driving, you can put the headlights on 3 and turn on the highbeams and drive with the Highbeams on and the lights not blinding oncoming drivers, pretty nice feature the aimable headlights. I don't wan't to run that way though, I just want to aim the whole light, mainly the Low Beam up a hair.

Yes turn the white knobs that adjust the height of the lights! I did that to mine and the lights are waaaaaayyyy better! It makes the brights a lot better too.

Next to the orange connector there is a white analog dial that you need to turn. It takes a lot of turning but it works really good. It takes awhile to adjust them to match but its worth it.

Just park the car in front of your garage and put your head lights on turn the dial to raise it up (it takes a lot of turns). Then do the next one.



Here's a quick sketch of what I am talking about (not to scale but you can figure out what I mean)

old height new height

------------ new #0


---------- old #0 ------------ new #1


---------- old #1

So mark old #1 & #0 on a wall
leave setting on 1
adjust lh light to old #0
adjust rh light to old #0
Now your new #1 height is adjusted up to your old #0 and you new #0 is now higher up
The measurement between settings #0 & #1 should stay the same no matter if you raise the height adjustment
