Need to adjust TA headlight in down position!
Need to adjust TA headlight in down position!
Does anyone know how to adjust the headlight on a 95 TA? Basically it is going down a little too far into the car when I turn the lights off.
Thanks!
Thanks!
If it's off by just a small amount, you can adjust it like this:
1. Leave the car off
2. Open the hood
3. Use the manual raise **** to raise the headlight in question into the full-open position.
4. Remove the plastic cover that wraps around the headlight by removing the two screws on each side.
5. Remove the four bolts (two front, two back) holding the painted headlight panel on the head light assembly.
6. There are four screws, one at each corner, on the frame that the painted panel was attached to. You screw/unscrew these to adjust the height of the headlight assembly.
7. Adjust the screws as needed.
8. Temporarily reattach the painted headlight cover.
9. Lower the headlight using the manual raise/lower ****.
10. Close hood and check alignment.
11. Repeat steps 5 - 9 until the alignment is acceptable.
12. Reassemble the headlight assembly by reversing steps 1-5.

The headlights self adjust. If you use the manual **** to change the height, as soon as you put them up and then down, they self adjust. Your gonna have to bend the arm to change the height a lot.

DO NOT BEND THE HEADLIGHT LEVER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. If you can't "adjust" it enough with the adjusters mentioned above, then something is wrong/worn with the assembly.
