HID or Stock?

STOCK.

Make sure the fuel tank is at least half full, then park the vehicle on a level surface about 6 inches from a vertical surface -- the driveway and garage door often work well for this. Turn on the low beams and mark the center of the "hot spot" from each headlight with a masking tape "+" on the wall or door. Back the vehicle straight back about 25 feet, and check where the hot spot from each headlight now falls. They should be about 2 inches below and 2 inches to the right of each "+" on the wall. Adjust accordingly.


HID: same procedure.. but aim about 1-2" lower.

Also you will need a torx bit (T5 or T7 dont remember which size).

I do mine by the specs in the big book. works ok for me. ill be home today working in the garage if you want to get them done.

Just make sure they're aimed lower. Are you having a problem with them aiming off to the left or right or just too high?

1/4" socket, 1/4" drive, driver handle, will work if you dont have a torx bit..
