How to adjust headlights?
After my left ballast and lights were replaced after an accident i had (AP1), they did not keep them at the same level and the right headlight is about 2-3 inches higher up. How do i adjust the left one? TIY.

your headlights are exactly as they are supposed to be. do not adjust them as you cannot adjust the "notch" out. the left side is supposed to be a bit lower than the right. and in fact, it has nothing to do with how they are pointed. the "notch" is physically built into both headlights, so it's not something you can "take out".

remove the wheel, undo the finder lining and then you will have access to the head light.
As "Wis" said, there is a step pattern built into each lense, with the left side being lower than the right. You can still align the beams to fairly even, but you'll never be able to dial out the step.

i remember when i first got the car they were almost perfectly even and now its a noticable difference where as the right is a few inches higher. would 2-3 inches be too much or should i just not worry and forget about it?
