Adjusting the headlights

[azeli73]

Picked up my car the other day after having some body work done. I was driving home at night the other day and realized that the headlight wasn't set correctly. It points down and off to the ground. I've called the body shop and I'm waiting on a call back. My question is it just the usual two screws one to adjust the up & down - one to adjust the left to right? Or something else?

the up and down one is simple enough to get to. try that. after i got my car from the shop, i had one pointing what seemed to be up towards the left and one pointing straight down. i reaimed them and now they are fine. there's the up and down adjustment that is really easy to get to. it's behind the headlight and looks like there is a gear attached to a bolt. check out this website for details:

good luck. if you are coming down to tucson, i can adjust them for you if you still haven't gotten it figured out.

thanks. I'm going to attempt to adjust them myself with the use of a flat driveway and the garage wall tonight. If Earnhardt will adjust them for me then I'll be making those bastards do it.

I just moved to a new house off of Hunt Hwy so I'm pretty damn close to Tucson now. (laugh)
