adjusting head lights angle

There are two ajusting points that I saw. One on the top left corner close to the grille. Another one on the right side. So which one is for adjust beam high adjustment and which for beam width adjustment?

They both need to be adjusted together and do it properly.

Part the car facing a wall in a parking garage. Measure back 25 feet from the wall and park the car with the bumper 25 feet back, Now measure from the center of the lights to the ground. Go to the wall and measure the same height and draw a line or mark with tape. Now adjust so the driver low beam is straight ahead and the center of the beam is 2 inches lower than the tape line. Now the passenger side should do the same except be canted out toward the side of the road. If you can't park that far away do some divison to get it spot on. IE 12.5 feet have a 1 inch angle. For the fogs do the same thing except they will have a second and much lower tape line.

For faster adjustments a battery operated drill at slow speed works wonders.
Hopw it helps.

 

Wow, that's an informative post. So I can't just adjust one of these two screw to change the beam width?

actual width of the beam won't change, width of the pattern will. Beam size is controled by the position of the bulb/guard/chrome backing.

 

I am sorry, I actually mean pattern width. How can I change it?

the way he described. One screw controls the up-down, and the other screw controls the left-right. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yes, you can just start turning the screws, but using the method Curtis described is the CORRECT way and will get you (and oncoming traffic) the best possible result.
