How do you adjust the beam on your headlights i noticed my right sticks out farther then my left and its annoying the crap out of me! Also they are HID kits but i dont know if its the beam direction or if one HID bulb is bad. Cause also my left hid ballast doesnt buzz as loud as my right? But the light performance looks fine

Oh, funny you should ask... I just found out. Let me post a pic... you will need a socket wrench too. I'll be right back...
 












Here we go...

Alright, this is from my 03 xlt... the socket wrench uses a 5/32nds bit... Once you start with this it will all make sense... my headlamps were all over the place :confused:

Don't tell Haynes you got this from here or they'll take me out :shifty_ey:dead:

Alright, pop the 5/32nds over this silver/gray thing just behind the headlamp, and just start from there... suerte!
 












And if you can run...

You don't have to pay for Haynes... just have someone outside with the car running, grab the manual, run out the store and jump in the cargo area... :cool:

They'll never know what happened... That's how Tbars got his :D (jk)
