Headlight adjustment

[Yearcher]

Lots of good advice on here about adjusting headlights but haven’t seen whether you turn clockwise or counterclockwise to go left or right or up or down. Please help. Thank you.

I can't answer that question but I know I've adjusted dozens of headlights watching how the beams move on my garage door while I did it.

They are standard threads so if you are on the top adjuster clockwise will run it in and therefore aim your light higher.

 

[Yearcher]

Thank you. But how about the left/right. Clockwise or counter clockwise?

Park facing a wall, it's easy to figure out.
At least that's what I do.

Still no answers to my question. Appreciate the replies but simply would appreciate hearing whether clockwise or counterclockwise raise/lower/left/right. Thank you.

Screwing the bottom screw clockwise will move the beam toward the passenger side.
Screwing the top screw clockwise will move the beam up.

Anti-clockwise worked for me to lower the beam

And if your trying to aim cheap LEDS from China good luck . most of them just throw a solid blob of light equally on the whole garage door . In that case just run them as low as they can go ,so you minimize blinding oncoming traffic .

Not to mention you have to be careful with the ones you get. Some have the cut-off and offset for right hand driving. No matter how much you aim them, they will be offset wrong.

____/ ____/ for left hand, vs \___ \___

My cheap LED knockoffs from China put out a pretty good pattern and were easy to adjust. I was noticing several nights ago while driving out in the Arizona desert how well they were lighting up the road.
