i called a local mechanic and they said they couldnt do it

and also how much is it gonna cost?.....around hills area prefered

Mine are like that atm because the front coilovers are wound too high

Although on all the lines ive seen one is usually higher than the other anyway

cant you do it yourself?. there should be a bolt (8mm i think it was) ontop of the headlight that u can turn for it to move.

or am i talking about something else

That bolt moves it left/right

There is one below it which moves it up/down

From memory you need to take out the water bottle to get to it

ive been abit lazy and havent done this yet

i tried to turn all the screws at the back but the light wont adjust upwards/downwards.....so its like stuck

any ideas anyone?

reason is im planning on getting HID's and dont want to blind oncoming traffic

a lot of factory manuals have a method involving parking the car a certain distance from a wall. Then marks are made on the wall at a certain height and position...headlights are then focused on that...see if you can find a wrkshop manual to another car and try that...other than that a dark road late at night is also good.I am not so sure about how R33 headlight adjusters are but I can speak with experience with R32 adjusters. The internal adjusters become brittle with time and quite often are broken inside. Be very careful when adjusting

i think the adjusters are broken hence i cant adjust the height

most likely have to goto a workshop to get it sorted out

if the adjusters are busted, just take the headlight out and use a few washers, depending on where you put them will vary which way the lights point
