Aiming JDM Headlights.... - Honda Prelude Forum

I just got my JDM headlights in and I want to aim them. I know it's the little cap things but I want to know which one does what? Also....is there a cure for the JDM flare?

I don't know which one does what, but no... its not a cure. The housing is designed in a way that light shines higher on the driver's side. pull up to a wall and turn on your headlights. you will see that the left corner of the projected beam sort of rises up.

well i know this, the two lower wheels (not the ones on top) are the ones that control the up/down and if you turn it counter clockwise, it lowers the light. clockwise makes the light higher. im not sure about the two upper wheels. i dont know which direction you have to turn those to get them to turn left or right.

I tried to turn mine, they would not turn even when i used a screwdriver. I think they are rusted out.

You can't get them perfect because they were designed for RHD cars.

maybe you were turning it too much in one direction and you couldnt turn it anymore? maybe spray some wd-40 in there, let it sit for like a minute, then try again.
