Does it have to be zero level when adjusting it? I tried this couple months ago and everytime i turn...it goes back!

I don't have any problem turning it it just goes back evrytime I turn it....Also while im turning it it fights back and sound and feels like im stripping something inside!

What else should I do?

Park your car near a wall or something.

Turn on your headlights, so you can see where the beam is. It's a pretty easy way to tell what you're doing, because the beam ends so abruptly.

Mark where your lights are at the 0 setting. (Highest)

Turn your lights down to 2 (middle)

Use the adjustment screws to move the lights back up to where it was at 0.

Now you have 2 more levels to go, higher than 0.

I find that setting 1 is perfect... you get flashed for brights every once in a while.

Level 0 is extreme now. You'll get flashed for brights almost all the time.
+1

After you set it to 2(middle) do you have to turn it off before you adjust it?


Doesn't say that you have to leave it OFF or ON while you adjust it???????

I am going to try this againg later on today. I was trying to do it today at my GF house but I had the headlights on. I only turned it about 2x. So i'll turn them off and adjust again and see what happens. The 10mm bolt fits just fine on there.

Ill set them to to level 2 and ajust from there.
