Default 2006-08 Headlight Adjustment.. :) ?

I had 04 headlights and have upgraded to 08 lights.... THey are aimed way to low for night driving, the dial that I was used to on adjusting the 04s is different on the 08s....

Does anyone know how to adjust the new bi-xenons. I have found 2 posts one is by hyperspite for the 03-05s doesnt work for mine and also found one for the 06 G35 but thats different as well.


Appreciate the input... THanks!!

im pretty sure there is a little metal gear on the housing to make your aim adjustment but if all else fails, loosen all the bolts that are holding your light on and then push upward and inward to raise the light housing, there should be play on your mounting tabs to do this (i did it to my 07's) but if that dont work, i could always make a trip up to topsham from So. Berwick and envy eachothers cars??

Your a riot!! You should make a trip up here soon!! We should be cruising this weekend possibly you should come up to South Portland if so...

on to the headlight, I have it positioned in there perfectly so it lines up with the bumper and is flush with the fender... I see the gear but I have tried turning it from inside the wheelwell and from above looking into the hood.... It doesnt look the same as the 04s which sucks because I have found a couple tutorials on that...

It is the same as the 03-05... I bought an 8 Inch Phillips screwdriver the only tool you will need.

Get a flash light and shine it down the side of the headlight, you should see a set of little metal teeth or a gear.... Get the screwdriver in that hole and have the screwdriver as straight up as possible and slowly start to turn clockwise for up and counter for down.... Make sure to mark where they were before...

I had to re adjust mine 3 times to get it perfect after some test runs.... The first time was WAY too high, the second was still too high and the 3rd was perfect!! LOL 3rd times the charm I guess..
