    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.

    Talking

    I have the same issue with the panzies who think your lights are too bright....just do what I do...give them a warning blip of your brights and if they return that with their "full on brights" than hit them with your PIAA Fogs (okay...my weapon of choice) whilst holding in your "passing signal" brights.

    Brings them too their knees with burned out retinas...which does them the favor as they now are no longer light-sensitive..lol.

    P.S.---I know its them that has the problem because I get this with my mustang too which is stock with no bulb upgrades & headlight alignment checked @ inspection time..........panzies!

    P.S. #2----If you're worried about this escalading into road-rage on their part...don't be...anyone that upset about brightness is a panzie and will run home and hide with their momma before even thinking about retribution.....wussie panzies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
