Default Need Help: Headlight Adjustment

I had my headlights replaces.. (too many pits from road trash).

They (the bodyshop) aligned them "equal" level... I took my s2k to the dealer-- they said the lights were "perfectly" aligned.

Now, I have a Helm manual-- and it mentions NOTHING of the lights other than...x height at y distance.

BUT before this (and on every other s2k I've seen), the drivers light was lower then the passangers.

Can anyone give me some feedback for a given distance (say 10feet) how high the driver and passanger lights are on a stock/factor stook?

Thanks,
Aaron

amartin: See: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...p?threadid=6313

In particular, see second link of post by Harver Jr:

The driver's side should reflect 52 mm (2.1 in.) below the passenger side. (#5, link 2).

For adjustment my preference is a mini rachet with a 8 mm socket.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link, but NO it doesn't answer the question- infact, the links they have point to the samething I have in the Helm manual (scanned I believe), where the 2 lights are set equal.

Someone mentions lowering the drivers by some ammount, but NOT at what distance..

//Sigh,
Aaron

amartin: Look at Harvey Jr. reply in the previously referenced link:

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...p?threadid=6313

The first link, there,
http://server3005.freeyellow.com/harveyjr/22-70.jpg

seems to indicate that the car is parked with the headlight 7.5 m (25 ft.) from the wall (item 2).

The second link:http://server3005.freeyellow.com/harveyjr/22-71.jpg addresses vertical adjustment (item 5).
