I have opened and adjusted my headlights a few too many times and I am having a hard time getting back to the correct cutoff.

I don't care about the height, but I am kind of unsure how the left and right cutoffs are supposed to line up in relation to each other. I think I have my left headlight pointing too high right now. Are the flat lines from the left and right supposed to be perfectly level, or is the right supposed to be a bit higher than the left?

I do have the PDF file from Sparks about headlight adjustment, but to be honest, a simple picture would be much more helpful for me. So, does anyone have a picture of the factory cutoff for unadjusted 05-07 headlights?

Thanks.

 

Bump please.

From the ground to the middle of the low beam headlight...this measurement is how high it should be.
From left low beam headlight to right low beam headlight headlight...this measurement is how apart it should be at the vertex of each sides cut off.

The right side (passenger side) does not have the exact same cut off as the left side. The right side will flare up slightly (meant to illuminate road signs) and that's normal.

 

hmmmm

 

Well, both sides seem to flare up by the same amount for me, so I was thinking that maybe I need to angle the left side a bit lower so that the right side flares up more than the left side.

A picture would be great if possible.

 

Bump. I still want pics.

 

I'm sorry I was giving you general directions on how to aim your lights properly.
Most cars have the passenger side cut off flare up slightly higher even with the vertex of each cutoff being level.
I took a look at my car and I think driver and passenger is pretty much the same...not really a noticeable difference in the flare up.

The vertex of the cutoff on both sides should be level, so don't aim the left lower to get your right to look higher...it doesn't work that way.

I'll try to get pics for you.

 

Thanks

 

Bump for pics.
