Hi all,

New to the Z28, had it since November.

When I drive it at night on a road with no lights it seems like the regular lights, not the high beams, are tilted down onto the road too much and while that illuminates directly infront of the car it does not light up much infront of that.

So my question is, can this angle of the light beam be adjusted and if so if this the thing that adjusts it? (see picture, circled in red)


Thanks guys

I have never worked on a Z28 as far as headlights go but it seems to me like, yes, that is the headlight adjustable screw. Soo by adjusting that you should see/notice if the headlights rise up or down to the ground.

Did you try it?

Put your car in a flat surface area though.

Hiya,

I will try this and see what happens.

Thanks all

How did it go?

I haven't made the change yet, I will give it a go tomorrow if I have time

Yes, that's the height adjustment screw. Wanna do the same as with any adjustment on headlights, park on a flat surface blah blah blah.

Clockwise = up
Ccw = down

If I remember correctly

OK excellent, thanks for confirming.

I have not actually made the adjustment yet so hopefully I will get some time tonight.

What kind of socket so I need to fit this as I don't have any tool that will properly fit it I don't think.

I can get a pair of mole grips and carefully turn the it. Do you think that will be ok?

Thanks

no get a torx or star bit and do it the right way .

OK got it, thanks very much guys.

One other thing,

Is the difference between pointed fully down and then fully up a big difference? Without any prior knowledge I would think mine are pointed pretty far down so I hope they can come up.

I fitted more powerful, whiter bulbs on the weekend so hopefully the combo effect will improve things as in my other car the lights are great and in the Z28 my first comment in dark driving was "hmmm i can't see alot"
