Cool Headlight Aim

I just installed blues in my 90 LS. I noticied that the focus of the left beam was off. I thought I might have the bulb in crooked, so I re-installed both bulbs. I am still having the same issue. I have tried the adustment screws, but that only gives me up or down, no left or right.

Any help?

There are two separate adjustment screws for each headlamp, don't remember exactly where so can't further advise you. What I do remember is you have to remove a rubber hole filler to get at one of the adjusts.

Try re-install it again. I did the same thing two nights ago. Make sure the black cap that hold the bulb in in place. If it is not in place, the light will either left or right.

Try again and double check cap.

I will try it for a fourth time and see if I am just missing it. There are two small screws that may be adjustment screws.

The manual just has the up/down adjustment. It actually suggestes replacing your own bulbs, then taking it to a dealer for "aiming".

I will see what I can get done this weekend.

Thanks guys!
