Thread: Can you adjust the headlight beams?

I just got some new HID looks lights for my 99 coupe but they just don't seem to illuminate the road very well. The beams don't extend very far on the sides of the car. It seems like they only illuminate the road in front of me and that's it. Same thing happened with the stock lights I had. Is there a way to adjust the beam of the lights?

It sounds like you want hid headlight projectors or a decent set of fog lights to illuminate the road to the sides. What I did is I used a set of blazer clear projector fogs for a year with the stock halogen fog bulb (great for lighting up the road close to you). I just put a set of 35w hids in them as the blazer has a good cutoff (cutoff shield) This outperforms the headlights, the only reason you know the headlights are on is the extra light above the cutoff just straight ahead.

I think I may just need to get some HID projectors. I'll look into some. I may also try what you did also. Sounds good.

I plan on upgrading the headlights in summer, but the fogs are a quick fix

Yeah they are.
