I have a 1992 1.5L Impreza and the headlights seem to be a bit high. Is there a headlight adjuster? The vehicle's handbook is missing. Thank you. Helen

yes you can adjust it, open the engine bay, just behind the headlights you should see a long extension coming out with either a short phillips head screw driver or 8mm spanner you can adjust it, turn it left to lower and right to higher the light, try do it infront of a wall at night with the lights on so you can work out where you want the height.

My GMC truck 1993 Sierra just had new headlights installed. But the high beams point into the trees. It seems both the high and low beam lights are in one enclosure. Can I adjust these down?

Yes you can. There is an adjustment screw at the top of each head lamp and you just turn them out or counter clockwise and the beam will come down. You may also have to adjust them side to side also. There is an adjustment screw as well.

Headlight adjustment, especially electrical control

the system should do this its self, it sounds like the replacement head lamp is faulty, or if you put your old electric motor on to the replacement lamp then you could have missed the socket that the motor attaches to. regards John

Adjustment of headlights...how to

There is an adjustment screw for the headlight located on the headlight housing. You should just have to turn it clockwise (I believe it requires an allen wrench) and that will raise the light beam higher. If you need further assistance let me know.
Thanks and enjoy,
Lee

2007 subaru outback headlight problem

Each head lamp also has it's own relay, you can rule the relay out by swapping the left head light relay with the right head light relay & see if the problem moves to the other side...The relays are also in the same under hood fuse box.

I bought a Subaru Impreza STI 2009 model .. What kind of the oil used in this car and is it Syntihtic oil?

i have an 05 sti. its the same motor as the 09. you definitley want to use a high quality full synthetic oil 5w-30. check the level often because it is normal for this car to burn a little oil do to the turbo. especially if you start making performance mods.

Adjustment of headlights

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.
