When I got my car back last thursday after having the headlight lenses replaced I know something was off. I asked the service advisor he said yup they're aligned. I dont know maybe its just me but is this aligned or what!?! I guess another trip tomorrow to the dealership. OMFG all I need to bring is a shotgun. Oh by the way I'm dropping the car off tomorrow for them to fix my wheels. Once again another very very good week.

 

Never ever go to Congressional Mazda in Rockville MD they have mechanics that have brains up their asses

 

Oh honey, I'm sorry!! These dealerships are just idiots! You'd think they'd be the pros since they deal with all types of vehicles on a daily basis. You're almost better taking the chance and fixing the stuff yourself.

 

wow...sorry...that REALLY sucks! Make them fix it + give you free stuff..haha

 

This dealership is cheap as ****'s they still have to fix my wheels.

 

here

 

Adjusting this at night would be best Im guessing?

 

Chances are when they put back the bulbs in, they put them in crooked

 

They did the same thing to me when I got my lens Changed. But I bought it back and they put it on some type of machine and got them aligned great. Looks much better now. Hopefully you will have the same luck 2nd time around like I did.

 

lol wow sorry to hear of your issues you are having at teh dealership. after what i go through with them then hearing (err reading) about them online..i am never going to them again. well unless i have to. haha time to go to school to be a mechanic :D

 

where exactly is the adjusting screw to adjust the headlight's aim? how bout a picture?

 

did you just get the lenses replaced? or did they do wiring as well?

when my friend got in an accident with his Mazda 6, his headlights were miswired. he had one high beam and one low beam working at the same time.

 

i need to readjust mine, they seem to shine a bit low.

 

OMG When I called mazda to see if they fixed my headlight they said there is no way to align the headlight STUPID!!!!!! I have the base model. Most likely when they installed the bulb they put it in crooked STUPID!!!!

 

They just replaced the lenses. I'd be pissed if they lost the foamy thing that keeps the headlight in place. Damn ****'s!!!!

 

just print out that doc i posted. its straight from the shop manual. god i hate service people.

 

I had my headlights replaced too for the stained housing problem and I need to align mine but haven't had time. Dealers suck ***. You gotta do everything yourself if you want it done right.

 

To sllygrl10 and other Maryland owners near Rockville, MD. I got my '05 8 two weeks ago and my low beams seemed high to me and to the oncoming drivers who all flashed me as if I had my hi beams on. When I asked Congressional Mazda if they could be re-adjusted, I was also told they could not be adjusted. That answer made no sense, so thanks for the page showing how to adjust on your own.

 

Were you able to adjust it yourself? Do you have the base model?

 

Finally!Mazda figured it out.....

 

Wow what a bunch of buffoonery....if they can't figure out the headlights I would be very afraid to let them NEAR my 8!

 

Yeah no kidding I'm actually looking for another mazda dealership close by to bring my car in for service. Oil change they can do but nothing else anymore.

 

move to southern california :D close to cerritos ! and go to browning

 

WOW thats bad. i go there to get my stuff fixed too. maybe i shouldnt.... but ill say this much cong mazda is way better than darcars mazda.
