How do you adjust the headlights on a SHO? I put lowering springs on awhile back of which the rear was lower more than the front. As such the headlights are shining higher than stock. I popped the hood but did not see any adjustments easily accessible. I am assuming I will need to remove some of the plastic covers to provide enough access to make the adjustments. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Adjusting headlight throw after lower springs

4. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp. Using a Phillips
number 2 screwdriver, turn the
adjuster either clockwise or
counterclockwise in order to adjust
the vertical aim of the headlamp.
5. Close the hood and turn off the
lamps.
HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NOT ADJUSTABLE.

Shout to SHOdded for supplying great information, which is on page 311 of the 2013 owners manual.

I think im pretty smart about late models cars but i always look through my manual. Cars today do so many things, there is a reason the manuals are so thick
It should not. Should simply re-aim the housing.BiGMaC said:Dooes anyone know if this actually redirects the HL beam, or does it change the amount of light blocked by the shutter?
Good luck! Hope it's as easy peasy as it was for my Edge.pejohnson said:I have not tried to adjust the headlights yet. Hope to tackle it over the weekend. Thanks again for your help.
Thanks! Notice any difference at night... Especially low beam?beez74 said:all the adjustment does is open and close the shutter more or less moving the cutoff line up or down ..the housing does not move so basically higher cutoff and more light...I to had to adjust mine after lowering springs where installed.
It was extremely easy. Just one adjustment screw each light. Not sure if I have the right height yet. Followed directions. Located headlights 25' away. Marked the horizontal line on the wall. I lowered mine about 3". Drove around didn't like the new light level. Seemed too low. Went back and raised it 1" and like it better. We'll see how it plays out. It's so easy to adjust I'll make other adjustments if need be.
