They should be located at the rear of your headlight. There should be two if I remember correctly. One to go left to right and the other to go up and down.

is it just behind the headlight? as in it is visible??

which one exactly is it?

pics would help a lot a lot...

i'm not going to drive out until i dim the lights.

[bugger]

well,

first thing first, must I remove the whole headlight to access that hexagon bolt?

because I open up my bonnet and look behind the headlights, i cant see anything that's hexagon and able to turn.

really need help.

THanks.

It should be on the back of the headlight 'unit'. It's supposed to be visible. I'll try and find a picture for you mate. No need to remove whole headlight.

It should look something like that. You shouldn't have to take the whole headlight out to adjust it. If you take out the headlight, how much are you supposed to adjust it?

[adam-__-]

Damn! The picture didn't work. I'll give you the link of the thread where the photo is.

That's the thread. There should be pictures of the bolt to adjust the lights.

[bugger]

Thanks mate.

but that pics are from R32.

is R33 the same location???

[adam-__-]

The 33's shouldn't be too different. Most headlights adjusters are located around that area and look like that.

Are they the projector style headlights?

Or non-projector style?

If they are projector style, you will have to try and make shrouds to aim the beam lower or cutoff half the beam(www.hidplanet.com/forums) but it'll still look quite crappy

If tehy are non projector, get rid of them, they can't be used safely in your lights, you'll be blinding every car, cat, dog, cow, kangaroo and koala on the road

If you have a later model R33 GTR with Xenon lights standard though, the bulbs should be already aligned?

[tyaos]

R32 R33 R34 shouldnt be too different.

as far as i know R32 one is black bolt or hexagon look and R34 is white bolt or hexagon shape.

when you pot the bonnet up, just stand on side of your front wheel and look down at back of the head light unit

you know how to change lo beam? the adjuster is just above the lo beam cover. you dont have to duct down to look or put your hands inside the bonnet to feel. its visible from outside.

mine is R34 but i assume R33 should be same as R32 was very similar with R34.

but r34 doesnt have side way adjuster. only up and down.

hope you go through

cheers

Hey guys,

i manage to saw the bolt for the 2 sides of the headlight. but however, there are above the high-beam. i guess that's not the one right?

and for the lo-beam bolt. i cant find it. LOL...

am i an idiot?

please help..

Cheers.

hexagon bolt that looks like a nail head with a plus on the end for phillips head screw driver

the stick out of the back of the headlight and there is one or two that face towards the sky from the top of the headlight

bit off topic

where can you find projector lens to do a retro fit?

can you just get the project lens itself without the socket? and mate that to the r33 socket?

can you get any old project lens that has a line in the middle or does it have to be xenon hid projector?

[bugger]

Hey guys,

manage to find the hexagon bolt and tried to turn it...

result: no change in the height of the beam.

why is that so???

I really have to bring it down before i can drive in the night....

mentality: do not want to blind others.

Cheers.

[chopobo]

probably turning the wrong one?

theres 4 of them

try them all

[bugger]

4 of them as in 2 on the left 2 on the right am i right?

Well, but does it work?

for those having a HID in their car, does turning the hexagon shape bolt help to lower the beam?

Cheers.

Ebay or www.hidplanet.com/forums/

basically look for any projector HID lenses, usually from BMWs, Porsches, mercs, some nissans(350z, Murano)

Then measure your headlight size, i went for a Murano one because it's 2.5" lense would fit inside my light(R32)
