Default headlight adjustment fail lol

all this time i have been thinking that my oem pre facelift headlights were crap, but they were just not adjusted right...
i did the 25ft from the wall thing and 2" below the line. before i made the 2" below the line adjustment it was like 5-6" below it LOL my headlights were aimed so low that i couldnt see ****!
i still think that the 2 piece headlights suck and will be switching to 1 piece hid in the future, but it feels good to be able to see the road now :P

Yeah its amazing how an inch or two at 25' can turn into you being blind at night lol. Glad to hear you got it sorted. I'd still look into upgrading the headlights though, HID w/ projectors are still 100x better than even properly aimed reflectors w/ halogen bulbs

ya, i am slowly looking around for some stock one piece or some helix/depo one piece from ebay. i am very tempted to get the the black housing depo projectors, but i am not sure if they will look good on a silver car..

Jeremy (ImTheDevil) has black housing projectors on his silver B5, they look ****. I just creeped his photo album on here but there are no pics of it with those lights lol. I'll see if I can get him to post one.

I agree with CCA4. Personally I think the black housings look better than stock ones on any color
