Can't Aim Low & High Headlights

[jcairns43@gmail.]

Help: All 4 vertical and horizontal adjusters function properly, but when I correctly aim the low beams, the driver side high beam is almost in the ground, and the passenger side high beam is in the air. Could it be that the inside "reflectors" are not attached properly. Headlights go up & down as per spec.

Is the high aiming bulb upside down?

Not too "bright" a reply...thanks anyway Axe.

Have you removed the bezels and checked to make sure the reflectors are seated properly? Is you issue the same on both sides or just one? sounds like something is not right in the way the reflector is mounted.

Sorry. I meant the reflector(s).
When you've spent your entire working life building cars, you kinda see everything.
Enjoy your dilemma.

I will be taking the headlights off the car and will then check bulb attachment to lens...lens attachment to metal frame...and to shake things a bit to see if there is an inside reflector that is not seated properly inside the lens.

Back in the day, I saw many headlight units installed upside down.

Note to anyone installing LED headlights...both 9006 & 9005 types. Take the whole light out of the car and install the led's with full vision of what you are doing. After you remove the surround and the painted cover...remove the 2 - 8mm nuts and hinge bolts then remove the actuator bracket from the motor...pull out the light and remove/install the led bulbs so that all 3 tabs on each bulb are properly seated and secure.

Special Note: When deciding on which LED bulbs to buy...purchase the type that have the "adjustable collar" so that you can install the bulbs with the led's in the 3 o'clock & 9 o'clock position.
