Headlight alignment.
Well, it happened. I had my first accident in my 2001 Hyundai Accent.
Someone pulled out right in front of me and came to a compltete stop accross two lanes. And bam, I hit them. Their car didn't have a scratch, mine, minor damage. A crease in the bumper, the grill is out pushed back about an inch athe top (on the passenger side.) But enogh commiserating, the passenger side headlight is out of alignment. Is there a way to adjust this? I have trouble believing that those things come off the assembly line perfectly aligned. But before I go looking in there and taking apart headlight assemblies I was hoping someoine could give me a clue. Kevin |
Re: Headlight alignment.
I don't remember off the top of my head what the exact setup is on this
car, but most usually have a hex or torx bolt or a little wheel that a phillips is inserted into. Check your headlamp carefully. It may be physically broken, meaning you will need a new one. |

Well, the glass isn't broken, and it does light. Just lights
immediately in front of the car, the beams aren't in sync.
