Thumbs up Head lights adjustment?

Has anyone adjusted their head lights? How time consuming is it? should I just take it to the dealer?

Phillip, this might be normal. Is it the driver side that shines further than the passenger?

Quit the opposite. The the driver side is slightly lower than the passenger side.

Actually, that might be how it is supposed to be. My driver side shoots further than my passenger, but mine are the JDM headlights, so yours would be the opposite. I could be wrong.

The pass side light should shine further ahead and a tad higher than the drivers side on usdm cars.

The reason for this is most road signs are on the right side of the road in the US so the pass side shoots higher to light them up and the drivers side is lowered slightly to keep from blinding oncoming traffic.

At least thats always what I've been told

You have to forgive Phillip. We Asians often times see things in a distorted manner because of our eyes. They really only open up about a third of a typical round-eye!
