PopUp headlights

[lexrockhard]

I noticed that one of my headlights is lower than the other. Where are the screws for adjusting the popups on the 1g? I read they're on the top and side of the headlight but I can't really see them. Anyone have a picture of this? Do i have to remove anything to access them?

The only thing you would hafto remove is the little rubber cover that is covering the knob, you just pull that right off, when you're done adjusting, just pop it right back on.. Here's a picture of where it is.

Thanks, I just tried that and it does indeed adjust the headlight. But after I turn on the headlight and turn it off it drops back to the low position again.

That happen to my car when I first got it, Try turning it until you can turn it no more, I forget how I fixed it but i know i kept messing with that knob and it fixed, Try turning them off, then manually bringing them both up then try turning them on and back off? I cant think right now how I got it to work but I know its with that knob.

Tried that too and right before it pops up it readjusts itself back to the original position. *not working*

By any chance is there a way to adjust the entire headlight housing -- swivelwise? Upon closer inspection the headlight is actually slanting down towards the driver's side.

So do you mean the actual headlight is pointing downwards, Not the housing? If you are talking about the headlight inside the popup housing, yes.. You ccan adjust that. Put the headlights up And unscrew the black cover around the front of the headlight. Behind that cover will be where you adjust the actual headlight, you use a phillips head screwdriver I believe.

There are phillips Head Screws at front - Top & front - Side of Lamp.

It's the entire housing, lid and all.

The entire Housing is adjust by Linkage Buried down in there - Good Luck!
