Adjustment specifications for headlights - 2003 Jeep Wrangler

Replace your headlight like this:
2006 Kia Sorento passenger head light removal and replacement

Here is some stolen text:
"There is an adjustment screw for both headlights. I too have HIDs and I love them. Clockwise lowers the beam and Counterclockwise raises them. You can find measuring specifics online. Something like 20 feet away from a wall on a level surface the cutoff needs to be something related to the distance from the floor to the middle of the headlight"

A little more here:
"thanks, I successfully made the adjustment last night, the tool required is a Torx T-60 bit"

and all kinds of hints and instructions here:

A dim headlight probably has a poor connection - this is usually the result of corrosion in the headlight connector or the ground terminal. To fix this, remove the connector from the headlight and inspect the terminals on the headlight and inside the connector shell. If they appear dirty or tarnished, polish them (you may need to use Scotch-Brite or a similar light abrasive material). Next, trace the black or green wire to find the other end - generally it is attached with a sheet metal screw to a metal part of the body near the radiator. Remove the screw, polish any rust off of the body panel under the screw head, and polish the ring terminal on the end of the wire. Put it back together and coat the screw and terminal with grease or other protective compound to keep water out of the connection (do not coat the parts before putting it together unless the protective compound is specifically designed for electrical contacts).

Another common cause of dim headlights is deterioration of the plastic housing - there are a number of headlight polishing kits on the market to clear up the problem (pun intended :) ).

If the headlight is at full brightness, it may not be aimed in the correct direction. First, verify that the vehicle suspension is in good order; a sag or tilt will cause the problem. There are two or more spring-loaded screws in the headlight mount. To adjust, park on a level surface with the vehicle facing a wall or garage door. Turn on the lights, then adjust the aiming screws until the headlights are at the correct angle. You will probably have to fine-tune the adjustment after checking it on the road, so take along a screwdriver for the check. If you can get the aiming specifications from a service manual (e. g., Chilton's on Haynes manual; available at many car parts stores), you can adjust the beam spot more precisely.

you need a headlight adjusting tool that is mounted to the headlight shell set at specific numbers and adjusted until the bubble on the headlight tool is centered.

at your headlight you have 2 screws on each headlight. the top screw brings the headlight up and down and the screw on the side moves the headlight in and out. and it need a specific tool, I think you can take it to a repairer, that will be easy to do.

I'd go to a reputable front end alignment shop. They usually have a Headlight Aiming System and can help.
Toyota will only set to THEIR specifications not yours...

Good Luck

• Always adjust lights with optical headlight aimer VAS 5107, using detailed aiming procedure and specifications
• Low and high beams are adjusted simultaneously.

Left headlight (adjustment screws for right headlight are mirror image):
1 - Lateral adjustment 2 - Height adjustment

• Access adjustment screws through hole in lock carrier (Phillips head or socket head).
• Turn the adjusting screws for lateral adjustment -1- and height adjustment -2- until the correct setting is achieved.

NOTE: Where equipped, ensure equal movement/function of headlights during automatic headlight range adjustment.

The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly, behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator support.

You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam (separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal adjustment screws as well

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)

For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall. If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.

For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.

if you are using projector lenses, have them dimmed.

as far as adjusting to what point, please be specific in what you want to achieve.

Plain floor and a wall at dusk/night and start adjusting.
remember inner road side lower so no to blind upcoming traffic.
So there should be a difference officialy between right and left.
Switch around fror country on which side off the road you drive and specific legal requirements. Normally adjusting this is no big fee either.

There will be adjustment screws located on at least two different spots surrounding each headlamp. By turning these screws you move the angle of the headlamp. Most shops will do this at a very resonable rate, I say this because improper headlamp angle may lead to a ticket, or at least a warning. To say the least, they have to be at specific angles and heights. Good luck.
