    Sa gabi, when i'm driving, i've noticed lots of bigger SUV/AUV vehicles high beam me, and some cars high beam me. These are oncoming cars. I think one of my headlights are not aligned well, how would i fix this? I feel so bad for the other driver because maybe they can't see, so sometimes I put my lights on dim if there are cars in front of me to "guide" me if there are any bumps..pedestrians..pot holes..a stopping jeepney. But sometimes, I if i'm on roads where there are no street lights or any lights at all, I can't put my lights on dim, because all i see is blackness. Madilim talaga. Then if some ppl leave their highbeams on because they're pissed off at me, i usually give them a double high beam flash trying to show them that im not high beaming..n that its not on purpose.

    I have a 92 Sentra... 2nd hand.
    So how would i fix this? Your ideas and input are welcomed.

    Inaadjust lang yan. Paadjust mo. Kung gusto mo kaw na gumawa madali lang. Tutok mo kotse sa wall 25 m. layo then adjust. 20 petot lang o pang-yosi pede na cguro yan. sa honda ko flat screw driver lang kelangan tapos pinipihit lang ung parang tansan dun sa likod ng headlight. D ko nga lang alam kung pareho sa unit mo..

    tska may thread na ata na ganito sir sa "the workshop"

    i believe there're manual adjustments..there are set screws or something behind the lamp assy mount that will let you adjust the alignment by yourself.....you just have to do it during night time..good luck

    Ex-JDM headlamps:

    Lagyan mo ng lens blocker (black vinyl tape/electrical tape) yung pinaka parang 'triangle' sa bandang gitna ng lens assembly.

    OR

    Twist your bulb until the correct (rising to the right) pattern emerges. Though this would mean snipping and folding some of the metal that comprises the bulb holder as it is only designed to hold the bulb in the standard position.

    Btw, you can still use the standard screw adjuster for the up and down adjustment.

    Alright, thanx for the info guys! I found the screws to adjust the headlights. I think I know why other cars get pissed at me. My left headlight, the screw isn't screwed in, n it wont screw back in..it wont catch with the screw..so i have to take out my headlight to get a better look. So my left headlight aims a lot higher than my right headlight. I might have just have to improvise somethin so the screw pushes the bulb downwards if the plastic is damaged which might be why the screw isnt sticking or catching with the hole. I dont know..we'll see. Thanx again for the info!
