How to aim stock headlights?

ok so yea my car was in an accident they fixed it and did an ok job, but my headlights are all off whack.

im def not taking it back there. the headlights aim down and the fog lamps aim out. seriously i can only see like 15 feet in front of me..

how can i make them better? is there a way to aim them or something?

desparate bump(its getting dark outside!)

If you read your manual it tells you how to adjust your headlights. There is a screw that you turn.

BTW, there is no left right adjustment for the headlights, only up and down.

Aren't the fog lights supposed to aim out? They are not driving lights.

I don't believe there is any adjustment for the fogs... you'd have to crawl up under the front end and see.

But anyways... the headlights are easy to do... just make sure you park the car on a level surface when you are doing it... otherwise they'll be crooked.

man that is a very gay picture....

at any rate the screw is what adjusts them. The best way to tell if they are level is to take a laser level and put it on your garage door. Then turn your head lights on, see where the light crosses and doesnt line up and adjust from there.

There is a foglight adjuster. Got to the front of the car and look directly at the foglight and there is a screw on top of it in the housing.
