~~ Headlight alignment

I changed over my headlights from the NOKYA Purples to NOKYA Yellows. WIth no regrets they look sick. But i need help with something. I had a ***** of a time getting them changed and the alignment is off on the driver side big time.

Anyone know where the headlight adjuster maybe?

and before i get slapped with the read the manual bit... i lost my manual at my girlfriends house.

Any help would be great

I had the same problem, but with my fog lights. My driver fog looks like a high beam. It projects higher than my headlights and following someone at night i can see the inside roof of their car! I'm sure they don't like it to much and does get annoying at times. I do kind of feel bad for blinding them with the fogs. Any suggestions?

thats half true, if you have aftermarket bulbs they can charge you some labor, its up to them.

My issue was cause the bulbs were incorrectly seated, they tech showed me, i felt like an *** but he told me he doesnt know why, but its not easy with the lancer. you think its in, but its not

Your answer, from a few posts up:

So, no. It's a job apparently. Until one of us figures out how they do it and posts up (which hasn't happened yet).

the fogs are easy to adjust.. they have a screw that is accessible through the plastic grill piece which directs the bulb up or down. as for the lamps, I haven't had the pleasure of having to redirect them. Soul you put in yellows? I think I saw you when I was coming back from work early this week. I thought there were overlays not bulbs, my bad. looks good still.
