    Euro elips aiming?

    I did a search and couldn't find anything on this. I just put in my euro elipses and they are pointing all over the place. I went to adjust them but can't get on the adjusters from under the hood. Is there a trick to getting them turned or should I remove the assebmly from the car first to make it easier?

      Greg, I know where to aim them, I'm asking about the physical act of turning the adjusters. Can this be done with the lights in the car and if so what is the trick to getting at the adjusters?

        Why of course the can be done in the car. Some can be done on the fly. Suggestion spray the adjusters down with lube the night before trying to do so or buy new adjusters at $6.50 a piece.

          Thanks, it didn't make any sense to me that I would have to remove the lights, but I can't even get my hands down to a couple of the adjusters.

            Yeah, me either on the low beams!! It really makes me mad too. And all of my high beam adjusters are rusted and the plastic parts are cracked and falling off.

              They all do that. They suck in that respect.

                Pull the metal rings off the front of the lights and turn the screw with a philips head driver from the front.
