Headlight Aiming

Does anyone know how to aim the headlights? The shop I had my car fixed at messed it up twice now and they're all the way in south fla so I might as well do it this time... No one knew how to do this back in december, the only other thread I could find on this[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

thanks
andrew

There should be on the actual frame of the light screws that you can tighten or loosen. I believe when you tighten them it aims your lights up, and vice versa. there should also be scres on the sides to do the same. Its tricky getting in there, but Honda is likely to charge you an arm in a leg to do it. good luck

My headlights' alignment was off, so the next time my car was at the shop, they aligned them for me...I dont remember the price, but it wasnt much at all.

Okay well I'm going to answer my old question myself so everyone else knows how to do it! On the back of the actual headlight there's a white piece of plastic that's shaped for an allen wrench or a phillips head screw driver. Real hard to see on the passenger side and sort of hard to see on the driver's. It has a little etching on the metal above it to which way will bring the lights up or down.

I can't believe I never noticed this before! Sort of hidden away in there....
