How do I do the Initial Aiming for HID headlights and the High Beam lights ???
The dealer just replaced my light assemblies under warranty because of water in the lights, car only 1 month old, however neglected to aim the headlights. I'm working night shift all week and the dealer is an hour out of town. I Usually do everything on my own cars and I'm sure that I'm capable of doing this, however I don;t have the shop manual s yet, ans I need to fix this ASAP so I stop blinding people when driving to and from work all week. I asked the Service advisor to fax me the procedure and they don't want to cuz they want me to come back there. If anyone in the club has the shop manual, can they please e-mail me the appropriate section on aiming HID Xenon headlights, also the torque spec for the mounting bolts for the Headlight and Tail light assemblies.
Thanks,

Stef.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks alot. Mine are the discharge headlights tho..Where is that Leveling switch located that the procedure is speaking about in step 9. ? Also what figure are they referring to when speaking about the shaded area in step 11.?

Thanks again.

 

Here is the part about the switch. As for part 11 I can't help. Since you only have UP/DOWN I guess you can't mess things up too much.

 

Hmmmm, I don't have that switch. Mine is a 2006 GT with the Xenon discharge lights. Is this switch existant on this model or do I jsut adjust the headlight with no load in the car ???

 

US market cars don't have a headlight leveling switch. It's a European thing (not sure what other market). Don't worry about it. Preferably have a person in the driver's side.

 

You can adjust the lights with an 8mm socket. You have to go in from the fenderwell. It can be done by removing 3 pop screws.

 

Hi Rotary Rasp,
So I don't have to remove the bumper cover ? Just the access panel towards the front of the wheel well ? I got the Low beams (HID) light aimed from the access hole visible from under the hood with a long #2 phillips screw driver, but couldn;t find any HIGH beam adjusters visible from there. If the HIGH beams are adjusted thru the fender/ wheel well access, then at what height (spec should they be adjusted). I didn't find any aiming information for the HIGH beams in the shop manual.
Thanks.
