Question Headlights on 98 trans am

Is there anyway to adjust the headlights on a 98 trans am.

While driving at night it seems like my lights are low…not low as in the brightness of the lights but seems like they are pointing downward or just not high enough

Yes, there are two adjustment screws, one above the headlight for up-down, one to one the side for right-left. They are torx screws. It might be better to have a shop do this for you, it shouldn't cost too much and they will probably be able to do it with much greater accuracy.

you can adjust them yourself, its no big deal, adjust them while the lights are pointing at a flat building.

yeah i use my garage door to do mine.. just keep in mind that cars coming at you dont want light in their eyes. You have to find a good compromise between seeing far and not blinding people
