Rep Power: 0 How to manually adjust dipped beam? mk7 sport
My drivers side dipped beam is pointed way too low meaning I have awful visibility when on dipped beam. I believe that my headlight adjustors are not connected and wanted to know where to manually adjust them. Online I seem to find everywhere that there should be a hole somewhere near the light where I can use a screwdriver to adjust but I cant find this. Please can somebody help and tell me where to adjust them on a facelift ep2 sport. Thanks

Are the headlights OEM? They should have a hole in them with a Phillips head screw in it that you can adjust. If they are not OEM then they may be missing or the reason for the crappy light.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Far too often I find the bulb was just not properly installed.
"It's just a stupid light bulb, anyone can replace it" Nope.

Place Philips head screwdriver in hole at top of driver's side headlight assembly and turn clockwise to move beam up. Proper aiming is needed. Measure from ground to center dot on headlight assembly. Take this measurement less 2 inches from 25 feet away to bring beam cutoff to this level.

Those were taken from an 2003 Acura EL headlamp assembly but should be similar for OEM Civic headlights.
