I have noticed that this video is no longer available. Do you have a new hosting site or location for us?

This would be a perfect article if the video still worked! lol... oh well in the mean time here is what i used to aim my lights. seems to be quite a good guide its generic but gives all the measures you would need to do it for any light on any car.

Sorry to revise an old thread, but is the up/down and left/right the same on both lights or are they reversed? As in, is the left/right always on the inside and the up/down always on the outside? Just got these and got my HID's in and I need to aim them. I have a huge dark V in-front of me. They're totally split. lol.

I got rid of this car about two years ago, however the problem i had with the V, was due to improper bulb placement within the projector, not by aiming the lights. If i recall correctly i had to re-bend the retaining clip and get the bulb to sit at a slighly different angle. I'm sure if you search you can find my previous posts with photos and solutions i also posted all over the G5 Forum... GL

The screws are backwards from what you would think...

To lower, tighten both screws evenly

To raise, loosen both screws evenly

To go left, tighten the right screw and/or loosen the left screw

To go right, tighten the left screw and/or loosen the right screw

It's quite the PITA

One full turn of the screw seems to change the beam about 0.25 degrees at 25ft.
