I have a need to adjust the aiming of the headlight on my 04 coupe. The outboard head light on the right side is way too low. The other three lights are perfect. Are these four lights all individually adjustable? Are they only adjustable as a unit? Maybe the bulb is bent or not seated in its position. The assembly appears not to be damaged. If I remove the unit the answer to my questions will be apparent. But then again, maybe removal of the unit is unnessary. Thought I would ask the forum before starting. I have have had good expearence with advise from you fellows.

there are a number of posts about aiming the units on this site
there are also a few visuals on You Tube

it’s really easy, just take a few moments to review the material in both locations

 

Both headlight adjust at the same time, with one adjusting screw for up and down. Side to side is individual. The up down adjustment is the long white capped screw in the middle. If only one is off, it is probably not seated properly. There are tabs on the light that must seat in a slot inside the headlight. Be careful loosening the locking clip so as to not lose it. Do not remove it. It is best to watch the video.

 

WRONG. The adjustment bolt moves ALL lights together in that assembly - that won't do you any good!

You put the lamp in wrong. We all deal with this eventually.

1) Pull car up to garage door, about 3 feet from it (a wall works, too).
2) Turn headlights on.
3) Release the little retaining wire/clip from the bulb.
4) Reseat the bulb while watching the beam hit the wall/door. You will know when you get it right.
5) Relock the clip when you get it right.

 

Thanks Pizzaguy, I meant both lights in each assembly. I should have spoken more clearly. That is why I said if only one bulb is off it is most likely not seated properly. I should have said, in the same headlight. We both ,mean the same things , you just said it more clearly.

 

Thanks guys . I shall proceed with caution........................Just watched that video on Youtube. What a fine demo. Thanks again.
