Adjusting JDM Headlights - Honda Prelude Forum

I can't find the thread that spoke about this, my passenger side JDM headlight needs to be adjusted down a bit, anyone adjust theirs?

Behind the light there are four bottlecap looking knobs (two for the H4 and two for the H1). They can be a pain to adjust when they are installed and sometimes you have to stick a flathead screwdriver into the slots of the bottlecap in order to rotate it.

Just remember that no matter how much you adjust them they will not be perfect because the JDM beam patterns are made specifically for right hand drive cars.

I haven't got around to it. I only notice the problem when I'm out of the city and can't see very far. My roadkill hits have gone up considerably since I got these damn headlights...my towhook is a raccoon killer...
