Aiming E-Code Headlights

posted by  someone claiming to be Samurai on  Thu Jan 1 10:31 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I used the garage-door-and-chalk method with a piece of cardboard to cover the light I'm not working on.

Supposedly, you ignore the bubble levels but I found that's a good place to start. My bubbles wound up about 1/2 way between the middle line and the last line. The other adjusting screw, the R-L one doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

BTW, the Volvo e-codes are BETTER than but no match for HIDs. They're so much better that I had to check to see if my Volvo's headlights were even ON! Even the "old" round Hella e-codes are much better. Volvo just uses awful headlights, and it has since it converted the 240s to those plastic monsters.

Good luck!
