How do I align stock headlights?

I'v looked it up a couple times and could never find anything that really helped me out. Im a newbie so any help would be appreciated much. I have a 96 gst with stock headlights.

There are adjustment knobs on the back of the headlights, you will see knobs with teeth in them.
Turn your headlights on in a dark place or at night and turn the knobs till you get the perfect lighting point.
Hope this helps.

Yea, thanks alot. Also would like to know how to aim my highbeams down just incase those arent bright enough? Thanks

Your Welcome. The high beams have no adjustment to them, they are fixed lights if you know what i mean.

oh ok. just asked because i saw a thread that said you could do that to keep them on all the time if your headlights were not bright enough.

I wouldn't keep my high beams on all the time as it tends to blind oncoming drivers, pretty dangerous.
If your current driving lights aren't bright enough even after adjusting them, get some brighter light bulbs or go with a set of hid's with a decent output that won't blind people but yet still light up enough for you to see well.

HID's sir.

Granted the highs AND lows come on at the same time. I am running 5000k low beam HID's they look like a factory HID and i haven't yet blinded anyone. Tested them by having my friends drive at me in their vehicles.

They are a TON brighter and def worth the spend compared to a 40 dollar set of silver stars.

Just double checkin... this is the knob with teeth you were talkin about right? And thanks for the advice. If they arent bright enough still headlights are definetly next on my list... after I pass emissions... or atleast get a waiver.
