Stock Headlight Adjustment
Hey Guys, I know this is a really stupid question.....
But how do you adjust the aim of the stock headlight beams for the main headlights on a 2012 Mustang V6 premium.
I ordered the Luminics Pure Blue H13 Bulbs for main headlamps and Pure Blue H11 for Fogs. After installing them, i noticed that the main headlamps are not aligned properly (One is higher than the other).
I looked in the manual but the diagram is not all that clear. It said something like using a wrench or allen key to adjust a screw???? I am not exactly sure what screw they are talking about...
If anyone has adjusted their headlamps aim.... PLEASE help me out. .... thanks a lot in advance

Keep in mind that many factory headlight adjustaments have the passenger side light sighted higher than the driver's side.
This adds added visibility in the dark without blinding oncoming traffic.
If this is what you're seeing, it's probably where it needs to be.

Before adjusting your entire headlight unit(s), why don't you try removing the new bulbs and re-installing them (by hand)? Sometimes it's just how they are 'seated' in the socket, that make the difference.

I noticed this last night on my factory h.i.d.'s. Thanks for clearing this up for me. I thought maybe one of the lights were adjusted wrong from the factory.
