Makes too much sense, I'll get to it later... Why'd I think the shop took care of it at all?You shouldn't be blinding anybody. You have to properly align your headlights after replacing them. Once they are adjusted properly, you won't blind anybody.
They probably didn't even adjust them. Here's how (easy)
Park on a LEVEL surface 25' from a blank/clean wall (not in you driveway if it angles up/down).
Measure to the center of your low beam (there's usually an producing indicator piece on the housing itself OR just measure). Keep in mind the low beams are the TOP lights. Now remember that # and subtract 2"
Mark that spot (the center of low beam minus 2") on a wall on the driver/passenger side.
Now adjust your low beams so they don't go above that mark (the top of the cut-off should hit that mark). DONE.
Adjusting is easy. There is a little spot on the top/behind it that you just insert a philips screw driver into. Turn and watch the light go up/down.
Most shops that install headlights (if they don't do this for a living) don't bother to adjust the headlights.
BTW the 2" is optional. you don't HAVE to but we LIKE to use that as a measurement. We usually get lifted trucks in here so that helps make sure the light spread is FALLING rather then RAISING as the distance increases. Ensures people driving towards you don't have light coming up AT them. And it's not so much of a drop that you can't see down the road either.
just wanna double check, this is the part I turn to adjust right? The white plastic looking screw back there
