    headlight adjustment after drop

    I know a lot of people round here are putting springs and what not on their EP, I just wanted to know in brief, if anyone had adjusted their headlights to compensate for the drop.

    thanks

    our cars headlights are just as easy to adjust as all other hondas I have seen recently. A philips screwdriver inserted into the gear on the back of the headlights. I think it is clockwise for up and counterclockwise for down.

    I recommend this on any dropped car, I've done it on my SiR. I kinda just adjust them upwards a bit at a time evenly on both sides and test drive it, don't over-do it though.

    like mentioned above you can use a philips screwdriver and turn the screwdriver clockwise (this turns the mechanism counter-clockwise) , it takes a very long skinny driver though. None of mine fit, so I used a ratchet and 10mm socket to turn the bolt head on the rear of the adjustment mechanism. I found this worked much better and you could see the adjustment easier as it moves the light up or down quicker. I raised mine about 1 inch. If using the ratchet method you set the ratchet for loosening, so it turns the mechanism counter-clockwise. hth.
