My passenger side headlight is something close to being somewhat effective. The low beam needs to be much higher, but if I raise it up, it puts the high beam in the treetops.
My driver side headlight is cranked up as high as it will go. The high beam is OK, but the low beam is still only hitting right in front of the car.
It is to the point where I am considering ripping the front end off the car and having a shop fabricate a complete, new, custom, one-off piece, with entirely different headlights. I kind of like the last gen Acura TL headlights.
Grrrrr!
I don't know if I said this before, but try adjusting them (clip loose) in place while they are on. They aren't hot and you won't get a shock.
Makes life a whole lot easier. The design sucks, but this works.
