Did they use to go up and down and aim correctly?


My guess is boo they didn't and they were errored out so weren't moving and the PO aimed them up from the parked position.

First check the leveling arm on the right front lower control arm; they have a tenancy to get flipped so the arm on the sensor ends up vertical vs horizontal.

The rod attracted to the control arm must be vertical attached to the horizontal arm of the sensor.

Once the arm is confirmed correct (fix if not by releasing the screw holding to the arm)

Now using the inboard adjustment screws aim your headlights by parking parallel to a brick wall close to the driver's side, aim until the bright division follows the horizontal course of bricks. Cover the light you are not adjusting with something like a shop rag. Aim each light the same way.

The side opposite the driver's side should climb upwards about 2-3° to light up the road signs. The driver's side will be horizontal and won't go above oncoming car's hood.
