Headlight aiming ???

5789 Views 14 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  Spectre
I brought the 300C in for oil change and asked to have the headlights re-aimed. They're the halogen type. Have been aimed a bit too low and too far to the right for my taste. Now with the time change, I drive more in the dark. Of course, the dealer says they're fine. Normally, aiming is not problem; a few tweaks with the screw driver and you're done.
Where are the adjusting screws??? I looked in the service manual and it has real nice diagrams on how to mark off the wall and target areas for the hot spot, but I couldn't find anything on where the adjustment screws are. Anyone who has played with this, the help would be appreciated. Thanks

There are oval holes in the top of the rad. cradle, the adjusters are about 4'' down in there. Uses a torx screw.
The oval hole adjustment screw moves the lights up and down (which I got adjusted fine). Where's the left/right adjustment? (Boy, the old GM headlights were so much easier - the screws jjust sat there lookin' at ya')
I Don't think the horizontal is adjustable. :(

That's a bummer!!! Thanks Anyhow
Anyone have a quick pic of where these guys are at? My left light is a little lower than my right and it's drivin me nuts. (Yeah, I'm kinda a freak that way)
Is their seriously no way to adjust horizontal? thats not OK

Apparently true for US models. European models have a left/right adjuster. Either because of the UK left lane driving, or maybe because European government has certain pointing requirements.
Seriously...any pics to these screws? I don't wanna go and unscrew the wrong thing!

Glorious... thank you!!!!! Now I can fix that annoying low left light. Or is it high right light? :D
THANKS A MILLION!!! This is why I love this forum and the second time I've gotten genuinely helpful info. I just aimed my headlights this morning and now they point at the proper height. I didn't have a long enough Torx screwdriver but used a small flathead that fit snugly in the threads. Like a charm!!!

Hey thanks to everyone who posted this. I re-aimed my headlights when i installed my stealth bulb package and can now see were I'm driving in the dark. Thanks a million.
i still don't get why our "export" models get a cut off in the middle of the light, it's so annoying
