Adjusting the headlights - am I blind?
I noticed the manual makes NO mention of how to do this. My pass. side headlight is JUST a little higher than the right, and it irritates me. Went to adjust it, and couldnt find the adjusting screw. Halp?

the left side (driver side) sits a little lower for a reason. It is meant to be a little easier on oncoming traffic (i.e. not blind them!!). its not broken, that's just how considerate nissan is

Is it just me or do the lights seem set a little high up? I mean I can see great and all but I've already been flashed by a couple of cars, they think I have my hi-beams on!

My lights sit PERFECT. They cut off right at the top of most trunks on cars...

I remember that the left/right headlight discrepancy was more pronounced in UK, that I actually noticed it day to day. I don't think I've noticed it since coming to the states and driving more American brand cars. Maybe the headlights in the Z are more similar to the JDM or Euro spec, so they carry over the height difference by default? |

Personally, I love the low beams, although I do see them go into other people's eyes with regularity.
The highs are great in the forward direction - but I'm thinking I want something off to the side. I was out on the twisties at night last night, and I couldn't see sh_t to the right and left. I know that it's because headlights are required not to spill out to the side, but my old crappy headlights on my MR2 always did. These are almost too good . Now I just need to figure out where to put some big flood lights - maybe I could go rally style |
