Hey I am a new 2009 xb owner, its an awesome car to have its fun to drive and i noticed i bought some nokia lights stage 2 and i noticed that my right headlight seems a little on the low side, lower than the right, is that normal? i used to have a 2007corolla and had the same problem is it just toyotas??

 

You sure you installed the bulb right? Mine were fine and I even aimed them down a bit when I went HIDs

 

yea i checked them took them out switch sides and everything and still looks the same

 

So, do you mean the right side when facing your car, or when driving your car?

The driver's side is lower than the passenger side, so you don't blind people. Even when both sides are aimed to the same height, the driver's side output will appear lower. This is part of the cutoff shield inside of each projector. It is staggered, so that the light output will always shine lower on the drivers side. Here is a shot of the projector shield on an S2000:



light output is like this as a result:



Hope this is what you were looking for.

 

I haven't looked yet, but my xB's light output is diminished since I lowered the car. I have HIDs and before the drop I driving at night was great. Now I have to use the high beams more often. How difficult is it to re-aim the headlights?

 

Yeah, need to readjust those. I need to lower my lows and raise my highs. On the xa it was a philips head screw looking thing. This one the lowes are an 8 mm nut.

 

Hi All,

You might check out TRD Sparks website , XB online catalog and click on "lighting mods." They offer a free download in PDF on how to adjust your headlamps.
Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the info, but why didn't you include the link to be really helpful:

I do appreciate that you let us know.

 

Cionide, would you believe me if I told you that I don't know how to do that ? I'm not computer savvy at all! Matter of fact, I don't know how to even type! How sad.......... Should have paid more attention in school!
Anyways, I'm through bashing on myself. At least I tried to help, right?

 

That you did, bro! Thanks for that! I was going to post the link, but I assumed that it was general knowledge. Guess not.

 

Yes you did, and that's why I said I appreciate it.

If you ever want to post a link like that, just open the pdf from TRDsparks (or anybody else), highlight the address bar, and then cut & paste it into the thread your posting in. It's really easy, and I hope that helps you out.

 

Do the head lights automatically adjust? It seems right after start up the lights dim slightly after you hear a servo like sound, at least my 09 xb does that.

 

No.
