Default Head lamp high beam adjustment..

Hi guys, I've looked on here, and searched the net, but can't find a way to independently adjust the high beams on the car (mine are wayyy too high). I see the two covered 'hex' adjusters, but they're for low beams, right? The auto level is working correctly...apparently.

Anyone?

Are you talking about HID high beams or halogen ones?

HID's are changing low/high by shutter and I believe only low beam can be adjusted. Halogens are used only as a flash lights in US and I think they can't be adjusted at all.

Default Thanks Mishar,

My car is set to 'ROW' so I have the Halogens as the high beams, mainly so I don't have to deal with the 'candles in jam jars' as headlights.

Can't be adjusted? That makes sense.... in a relative away.

You are right about halogens height. They are more like marine lights. Full blast not corrected beam.

Jake, that one is for a wrong side traffic.

Wartime headlight covers.
But I guess it would work on the wrong side of the road too

Default Jake, yes I did, couldn't find anything in there....

Wrong side traffic? Seriously? You lot have only had the car five minutes and look at the mess you made of it already. I give you Corvette and CTS-V.
