Headlight Adjustment
How do I adjust my headlights?? The driver's side shines down to the ground and the passenger almost shines right up into the air. I want brighter headlights, Are there any available for a cheap price

There are two screws around the headlight that you turn to adjust the headlights. One's above right in the center, and the other one's on the outside of each headlight.
If you look straight at the headlight (with it off
) you'll see the screws around the outside edge. There are 3 on the top. The one you want to mess with is the one in the center. That adjusts the height of the beam. Then the one on the outside adjusts the left/right position of the beam.
Park your car (at night) on a flat/level surface and point your car STRAIGHT at a building. Usually the back of Walmart or Kmart, etc. Try and stay about 100ft. away. Then adjust your lights so they point directly in front of the car. Not up or down, and certainly not to the left. It's better to have them aimed a little, and I mean very little, to the right so you can read road signs better. But if you aim them to the left, everyone and their mother is gonna flash their brights at you.
That's all there is to it.
