Default Headlight adjustment for 06's?

I looked where the gear was for the 03-05's and i didnt see that gear... does anyone know where they might have put it?

I couldn't find it on my 03, do you have to remove something? I thought it was right behind the light.

on the 03 you just look straight down when you are looking from top of the headlight.... you might need a flashlight, but its down there... but i think they moved it for the 06's

I like the new 06 headlights. I see a big difference at night time. It seems very bright. The angle of th beam seems very wide. The highbeam is very bright--so bright, it will blind the person in front of you.

The adjustment for the 06 lights is the same as the 03-05.

I had to adjust the 06 lights after the swap.

Just use the same instructions found on several posts on this forum.

Good luck.

passenger side is too low, if you find a flat wall next to level ground, follow the same steps as adjusting the 03-05 headlights...Get the car on a flat surface 8' from the wall and the hot-spot should be at 26.5'' this will put it just high enough to cover the entire road, and curb, but not blind oncoming drivers... stock mine was around 24 on the driver and 23 on the passenger side
