Anyone know if there is an adjustment screw to change the aim of your headlights horizontally? I swear my left headlight is aimed too much to the right.

The owner's manual just says "Contact your dealership for adjustment." So IDK if that means it's a special tool, or if they just don't want the average customer futzing with it...

you could always just pop the hood and take a look at the headlight assembly to try and locate the adjustment screws.......... they should be pretty obvious when you see them...

I dont think there's any adjustment for horizontal aim. For vertical aim there is a screw there you can adjust. Its located between the highbeam and lowbeam housings.

i believe i have found the knob to adjust the headlight. It should be the black knob with a silver line which i believe is a marking made by the workshop. I wonder what tools i can use to turn that. I've thought of finding a rubber maybe like a cone shape to plug it in and turn. I wonder what special tools the mitsubishi agent have to turn this thing. This image is on the front left headlamp. Any one got any ideas what i can use to turn the knob? my hand cant turn the knob.

thanks for the info, i will try to look for the screws.

This is the picture thats in the service manual for the headlight aiming screw. Looks like a regular philips should do it, but its raining out here so im not goin ou to check. Maybe on a dry day ill pop the hood and check it out, cuz id like my headlights aimed a little higher, they suck goin through the back roads with all the up hill and down hills.

^ Yup thats the one. Getting a long screwdriver in there will be tricky though. Its pretty tight.

Sorry for reviving this. Does anyone know how to adjust the beam on OEM projectors for 09 Lancer GTS? I lowered my car and the beam is low now even if I set the dial to zero. Is there anyway to adjust this manually on the headlight assembly? Thanks much!

thought I'd share what I found out after tearing down a broken lancer headlight.

I know this is an old thread, but I was just searching and was going to ask - does anyone know if this adjustment applies to the Evo IX? I just bought one and the headlights are basically pointed at the ground, but I haven't had the chance to look under the hood to see if there's an obvious vertical adjustment for them.

I know you can adjust the height of the headlights from inside the car, but I think the motor is dead, because that little switch doesn't do anything. I'm afraid I may have to replace the switch altogether, but I'm not sure yet.

Any help is appreciated!

Uh our headlights are different but most headlights have a screw that aims the lights, try your service manual... I have adjusted my headlights before and its pretty simple
