    Headlight adjustment

    Which way do you turn the knob to adjust the headlights lower?

    To lower the beam, turn headlight beam adjustment knob clockwise. To raise the beam, turn the knob counterclockwise.

    Should both lights be at the same level?
    I was thinking led head lights. But the stock lights light up the road better than my car.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    If your talking the 2 low beams then yes but if you mean both high and low then no.

    I actually just adjusted my low beams lower tonight. Pretty easy just pulled up to the garage door about 15feet back and used a towel to cover one side. It's easy to see the beam move as you turn the dial.

    The right High & Low beam are one hinge, the left High & Low Beam are on another hinge.
    Moving the set screw moves BOTH lamps on that particular side, but since the High Beam is closer to the hinge, it moves the High beam less.
