hi all,
can anyone tell me how to aim my headlights down a bit....i don't see an obvious screw like most other cars.

 

from a previous thread...

 

Use a Torx screwdriver roughly at the 10 o'clock (passenger's side) and 2 o'clock (driver's side) positions. You'll see a small notch in the grill where the screw is located (don't confuse it with another screw that's very close by but without a notch). A Torx bit in a bit holder won't fit without removing the grill, so a Torx screwdriver will make it easier (if you try the bit/bit holder, you'll soon learn why removing the grill is not a good option when it can be avoided!).

I'd confirm what size Torx screwdriver but, unfortunately, Craftsman did me the favor of not labeling the size, and the model I have (PN 41871) is no longer carried by Craftsman. I'm guessing it's a T30, but can't be certain. Grrr.

Bottom line: You can get a set for $10-30, depending on brand. Do it: You'll probably need Torx screwdrivers for other tasks in the future.

 

It's a Torx T-15 that fits the adjustor screw. I keep one in my cup holder. I've gradually adjusted my headlights downward from the factory adjustment. The lights are much better when you get them out of the trees and on the road.

 

I believe the procedure is in your owners manual, isn't it?

 

Thanks, GreytSilly! I agree that they are better when pointing down a bit lower than the factory setting.

 

The procedure to change a bulb is in there, but I couldn't find the adjustment procedure, Jack. You would have thought that when they tell you how to change a bulb that they'd describe adjusting it, huh? Regardless, as I'm certain you're aware, just adjusting does not require removing the grill, while changing the bulb does.

 

Great! Thanks for the info
