Headlamp adjustment I didn't know what section to put this thread in. Anyway, the headlights on my SS are very weak. When I drive then thing, with the normal headlamps on I'd estimate that they only light about 15 ft. in front of the car. The brights are better but nowhere near where they should be, the brights are really about what the normal lights should be.
I thought at first that it was a problem with the lights, but my dad thought it could be that they just need to be leveled again. How exactly do you do that? Does it have to do with the screws that are holding the lights in?

There is an adjusting screw behind the housing. The screw head faces up.
To get an idea if this is it or not, pull up to a wall (at night) with you lights on. On a fairly level parking lot. Back away from the wall 10 or 20 feet and see if the center of the beams drops down dramatically or stays about the same height.
