    Okay so I found a screw on the backside of each headlight (below the white plastic cap and next to the rubber boot), if you turn it clockwise it will adjust the lamp position down, vice versa for counterclockwise.

    The PO must have adjusted my lights way up for some reason. It may be a good idea for most lifted VXs to adjust the lights down slightly to provide more road coverage. Just a thought

    Sorry Moncha if you have to move this to the troubleshooting section, I just wanted to share my "flashing experience" and I didn't think there was an actual fix.

    glad you found it, don't crank them down too far, just enough to stop the flashing. If you happen to have any fog around any night, that is one of the best, non shop manual way to adjust them. Just lay a blanket over one and adjust the other and vice a versa. Also might be a case of shimming (i.e.; a washer under one of the lower mount bolts to adjust left/right.

    I run the HID's and do not have a problem with flashers

    I am working on trying to adjust my headlights as I type this......

    The up and down is easy to adust....but of course, that wasnt my problem.

    My VX has a lazy eye (headlight) so I am trying to refocus them left to right.

    Any suggestions on how to make this happen?

    I am keeping my fingers crossed that someone with knowledge of this is watching the forum this evening.

    That would really suck if there was no easy way to adjust that since the up and down adjustments couldnt be easier.
