It's been a month since I've installed my H&R Springs. Everything feels fine and great but I did notice one thing. My HID low beam does not extend out as far as it did before. It's probably because with the H&R, there's more of a pronouced drop up front than the rear. I know there are knobs to adjust the low-beam, but where are they located??? I've read somewhere there are two for each low beam or something? Does anyone have a picture or can shed some light on this subject? Thanks!

you should look for a screw like the one circled in my pic... but closer to the low beams... there are 2 screws per side... but the one closest to the low beams is the one you want to adjust..

Stupid cardomain isnt giving me the full sized version... the text says to look for the screw next to the low beams...

use a flat head screw driver and place it in between the small teeth of the screw... twist the screw driver slowly... it'll move the screw but becareful because i've heard of people braking the screw since it's plastic... there's a little resistence but just make sure you're careful...

Perhaps someone with a digi cam can take a better pic... i had to steal these... hahaha

In your first picture, I'm assuming that's the driver side headlamp, the screw circled on the right is the one. that is the one that aims the low beams cuz that's the one farthest to the edge of your car. You see the little triangular teeth on the screw? that's where you slowly twist your flat head screw driver to turn the entire screw. The screw screws into the back of the headlights so the one on the left is not right cuz it screws directly down.

your second pic shows your driver side headlights but those are not the ones for adjusting the aim of the low beams...

For your Passenger side, Look for the same screw but this screw should be on the far left. again, it's the screw just behind your low beams screwing into the headlamp case and no down towards the ground.

Ok, thanks! And it seems like you can use a hex tool for the adjustment and not a screw driver. Just to point it out.

Yes, the back is a Hex but when you cant find the right size hex, a flat head always saves the day. :o
