Headlights are pissing me off

[ncampos92562]

My passenger headlight won't adjust anymore. Horizontal mainly, but vertical is a bit hard to move too. It just started to randomly do this. I need a fix to this because the light is pointing in front of the driver light like 10ft in front of me. While the driver is set up fine.

Anyone got any ideas? Fiddle with something? New part? Take a hammer to it...?

Hammer hammer god dammer.

Change your blinker fluid recently??


Seriously, if you can get at it with something smaller (maybe not a hammer) like a screw driver and try prying it little by little. It may have become stuck on something or what-not.

Not really familiar with 2g headlights but if they adjust with screws like 1g lights put some wd-40 or PB blaster on them

Actually 2g headlamps arn't suppost to be adjustible. They are fixed. Chiltons says so. So it must be blinker fluid

dam that blinker fluid is so hard to find!!!!I think it's next to the boost fluid but I'm not positive! Lmao looks like ya gotta get new ones....eBay has halo projectors fo like 100 bones

Haha. Yep, forgot to check the blinker fluid.

But I'm probably gonna try and manually move the housing. Maybe it'll pop back or something.

If you look at the headlight, there are two screw looking things with a phillips screw in the middle. These gears are movable if you stick a phillips head screwdiver DOWN at the serrated edges of the gear (so the screwdriver is physically pointing straight down at the ground).

I forgot which one is which, but one gear adjusts the left/right and the other adjusts up/down. Play with them until they match.

I know this already. The problem is the horizontal one barely moves at all and when it does it is very hard to move. The Vertical gear moves fine but doesn't actually change the beam direction on the wall, just stays the same.

Alright guys, I got it to move again. Just turned the screw with enough force to move it the right way and it slowly got smoother and easier again.

New question though.

Can I replace the fog light projector lens with any lens of the same size. a piece of mine just felt like felt like cracking off. So now that fog puts out less light
