Re: How do I horizonally adjust my projectors??? * NEED ASA

Hey guys,


I vertically adjusted my projectors so they arent soo low, but my drivers side projector is really aiming out way too far to the left. Its almost leaving a gap in the light right in front of me. How do I adjust it horizonally ? Thanks!!! :?

how did u vertically adjust your headlights? I need to know how to aim them lower.

my buddy has a protege5, and the adjustment knobs for the headlight on his was behind the headlights, near the bottom.,., i haven't checked mine out yet.,., but maybe its there for the horizontal adjustment.

Now I gotta figure out how to make them go left or right

There are 2 white caps behind each headlight. I think one is for up/down and the other is left right adjustment.

Also, there is an adjustment screw that doesn't have a white cap, near the bottom behind headlight,. I think that is for high-beam adjustment.

As for the two white caps, which one did u adjust for the up/down? the one nearest to the grille, or the one nearest to the fender?

In case anyone is wondering, I think the white caps are tamper proof caps (I have no idea why Mazda don't want us to adjust our headlights, or maybe they wanna make $$$ and force us to bring it to dealers). I used needle nose pliers to pull them out.

pictures?

Credit goes to M3-GT for using his picture:

I haven't verified the horizontal adjustment of the low-beam yet (its still daytime right now).

Hope this helps

so there's a white cap that's covering the screw? cause i still can't really picture it in my head. =\

yup there's a white cover over the bolt/screw. The cover jsut spins and spins and u gotta get that off before you can do any adjusting.

The horizonal adjustment screw is underneath the clip for the bulb? so I would have to remove the dust shield, wiring out of the way.. and the screw is under all that ?

nope, the horizontal adjustment screw looks exactly like the vertical one, with white cap on it.


The thick red arrows is pointing to something else.,. not the adjustment screws (sorry),.., its the thin red arrows that are pointing to the screws


edit: I made the arrows white now so its easier to see
