    Default Headlight Projector Problems

    I got a replacement headlight for my water-filled stock one. Everything goes in good until i turn the lights on to see how things look. Well turns out that the replacement housing projects the light up. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

    youhave to find the adjustment screw to adjust the headlight beam.

    pop thehood, it should be a phillips screw, and go out and turn ur lights onagainst a wall or garage. and screw it left or right.. whichever ones aims it down..

    I just went out and messed with that screw and it moves the cut off up and down. Im worried about the actual projection of the light around from being aimed up to aimed down.

    Well the housing only go in one way so it cant be upside down. Would it be an internal problem?

    looks like the projector itself is upside-down.

    dang man, bummer...looks like the internals on the light are upside down, weird.

    if you found a screw that moves the light, you may try adjusting it down, it could be aimed too far up and refracting the light down??

    check with the honduh guys, there may be another adjustment screw you have overlooked, sometimes the just look like part of the brackets...maybe check your owners manual??

    good luck
