Default My lights are messed up! :(

Well a couple of weeks ago I took out the amber lens' and the headlights just looked beautiful... changed the whole look of the car... well when i was putting the headlights back in the left headlight went in perfect but the right headlight was off about a centimeter... not noticable when looking at it.. barely noticable.. so after a couple weeks of driving i realized that the centimeter that was off has caused my light to aim a lot higher 50 feet down the road.. now everyone telling me because one light is aimed different that one is purple(the good one) and ones white( the screwed up one).. so now i have to take off my front bumper and try to re allign my headlight.. has anyone else had this problem?

You might try accomplishing the alignment by using the adjusting screw per owner's manual.

On the back side of the light there is a screw for up/down... "HeadLamp Adjustment" in the helm manual.

in the helm manual? I have the S2000 2001 Owners Manual and I can't find the headlamp adjustment page. Do I need to remove the front bumper to adjust the Headlamp?

On the left side, the coolant reservoir needs to be lifted off. The right side can be accessed ok, as I recall. I'll look for the page number forthwith...

Year 2000 Helm manual, page 22-70, 22-71. "Exterior lights", "Headlight Adjustment".

I suggest you look around this site, maybe in FAQ's.
I believe I've seen text(w/pics?) that talks about light adjustment.
