HELP - adjust headlight aim on 6th gen Celica

[fender98528]

I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the aim of the headlights on my 6th gen '95 Celica ST. The brights are fine, but the lo-beams are pointing too low to the ground, and the one on left points lower than the one on the right. The horizontal alignment looks just fine - I just need to adjust the vertical.

Does anyone have any experience doing this? Thanks!

the headlight housing should have screws that you turn to adjust the aim. park it on flat ground with a normal load inside the car ( whatever you haul around normally) you can park in front of any blank wall, usually the garage door works well, about 15-25 ft. away. turn your lights on and adjust the light aim by turning the screws until they are where you want. One note: do not aim them too high or you will be blinding other drivers, and you might get a ticket, plus it actually reduces the lighting effect that they have on the road. as you look at the light pattern put out by the lights, you may see the they kick up slightly to the right. this is normal and designed to avoid blinding oncoming drivers.

Thanks for your quick reply! I see several long screws, but which ones do I need to turn?

well they should be pretty open and be attatched to a gear that moves the headlight housing...check the owners manual. look under "headlights -aiming"







I have a different car then you do, but its basically the same idea.

not sure which screw adjusts what, but you`ll soon figure it out.

Thanks a TON for the help!!! Those screws are at a really tough angle, but I'll see what I can do.
