Aiming headlights for a 05+ for HIDs??

Axix23 · 11-29-2005, 12:01 AM

I got a 05 RSX and just got some HID kits for it.. They are snug fit in the housing with X-clips and the bulbs are straight.
My drivers side headlight is alittle lower than the passenger's light with the factory aiming.
I want to aim the driver's alittle higher so I can see alittle better. Right now the drivers side got a cut off point that i don't like.
In the helms manual on the crsx site, it shows how to aim for the 02-04, the 05+ design is alittle diff.

Do I adjust the screw thingy towards the top of the headlight or I think there is one towards the bottom... I don't wanna mess up my headlight alignment by adjusting the horizontal crap..

Thanks... Need some help ASAP...

There's a little bronze wheel thingy..spin that I'm not sure which way you spin it but just trial and error it. If it goes down, then spin it the other way to go up

there is a guide showing u which way to spind the wheel to go up and down, it is on a black panel just next above your head light cover. it goes something liek this D <-------> U but with a curve instead of the straight arrow.

Oh when you spin it, dont expect a huge up and down results, it only move a very little margin so u got to look at it carefully

so, don't mess with the screw adjuster on the top of the headlights?
Where is the spin thingy at? In the back of the headlights toward the bottom or top???? I think I know what ur talking about.... How many are there? Is there 1 for vertical and 1 for horizontal? I don't want to mess with the horizontal or I am screwed..
Its dark now, I am waiting until morning to look at it...

spin it clockwise to go higher?(towards the engine) or counter clock-wise?

Axix23 · 11-29-2005, 04:16 PM

Ok, I got it higher, saw that small direction arrow on top of headlights, spinning counter-clock-wise is up.. Thanks yall.... Can't wait to see how much farther my headlights shine now at night... I'll let you know...

Make sure you don't aim them too high.

Yeh, i only aimed them alittle higher, but I will see tonight if anybody flashes their brights at me! LOL If they do, I'll just aim them lower...

HAs everybody that got HIDs for their car had to aim their headlights alittle higher, or thats just me??

Axix23 · 11-30-2005, 01:36 AM

Anyways, the light out-put is awesome, they shine out pretty far, I had to aimed them down alittle b/c I was shining too far almost as far as brights...
