change angle on headlights - How?
Does anyone know how to change the headlight angle? Is there a knob/screw I can adjust to do that? How will I know if I exceeded "law specs" ?
I just got back from a long road trip, driving at 120mph in dark...I had to turn on the high beams every know and then to be able to see the pitch black road ahead. The brightness is fine without hight beams, but the "shinning distance" seems too short for high speeds. (road did not have reflectors). How to do? Thanks Skimo |

Hold on a second here... You were driving at 120 MPH on a pitch black road at night with no reflectors and you only used the high beams "every now and then?"
What am I missing here? |

I actually think the lights are aimed a little too low as well.
When driving on a dark highway at night I thought the lights didnt brighten enough of a distance. |

There are 2 screws on the headlights that ajust them, but it is very easy to go too far and blind traffic
Ask you dealer to set them to the upper end of the allowable specs |
