Aiming high beams?

[Hank3]

I know the HID low beams are easy to adjust. Anyone know how to adjust/aim the high beams?

the high and low beams are adjusted together as a pair. there is not adjustment for independent aim, which is a shame, because i feel the highbeams are too high when the lows are correctly aimed... there's a gap between the two patterns.

I have not taken any deeper look into disassembling the unit and perhaps using washers or something to tilt the reflector of the highbeam to fix this issue but that would be the way to do it...

Good to see you on here nhluhr. Took your advice on nasioc and adjusted the HIDs according to Daniel Stern's site. So are you saying that the highs will go up and down as you aim the lows up and down, too? Like you said, my lows are great right now, but one high beam is higher than the other by a good amount. I'm going in Tuesday to get the steering wheel aligned under warranty...wonder if they can adjust the high beams then?

yeah the entire assembly inside the housing moves together IIRC. same as when you adjust the headlight level via the dial in the cabin. that dial just actuates a server which turns the adjuster screw. pull up to a wall and see the highbeam move with the lowbeam when you adjust it.

If I'm wrong and somebody knows how to adjust the Highbeams separate of the lows, PLEASE CHIME IN!
