Best projector adjustment video so far. Most don't even reference side to side adjustments.

I already upgraded my ford ranger wildtrak lowbeam to a retrofit headlamp. Can i still adjust it up and down like a stock lowbeam using Phillip screw? Thanks!

This is really cool. However, I would like to know where is that lever adjustment in my territory?

[@fragile2004]

Great video sir Gary Question po is it still on 25M pag nag adjust side to side regarding sa 56inches mark from left to right center of the headlight? salamat po ford everest unit

[@user-pq1ni4wz6h]

I was trying to adjust mine but I may have overadjusted it. Was wondering if you would know how to repair the adjuster if it becomes loose?

[@JohnJohn-yt1bh]

Can you also show how to adjust the headlight angle for the Montero 3rd gen? The output is actually sufficient but it is pointed too far away to be much use. Thank you!

[@cuvame]

[@martinjison1479]

Hi, how do you adjust side to side? If clockwise does is go left or right?

[@garyqretrofit3444]

Sir you have to try this since it’s different for each car. Just turn the screw and see where the light goes and adjust accordingly. Make sure to do the up/down first. That’s more important

[@garyqretrofit3444]

For what car ?

[@Termangoli]

Good explanation. But I think the right headlamp should’ve stayed as is after adjusting the left. The right headlight should be higher than the left as it is supposed to illuminate the rightmost curb (sidewalk where people are) and the street signs. After he adjusted the left, the line of the light was perfectly aligned with the right. Then he adjusted the right which made it awkwardly.

[@garyqretrofit3444]

No sir. It should be one cut off then it’s going down to the left for oncoming cars. I understand your point regarding seeing pedestrians and signs on the right but you need to flick your high beam switch for that.

[@Nonfat_Snacks]

[@iiSup3rior]

I don't think you did the side adjustment correctly. If the driver headlight is skewed inwards you basically made the passenger look more to the right. You could have just driven the car 3 ft from the wall to tell you where the center of the hot spot would be.

[@cuvame]

What LED brand do you use po? But I have a feeling HID to. Sana masagot :)

Di ba sir may auto leveling na ang headlights ng Ranger/Everest?

[@garyqretrofit3444]

yes some variants meron na but adjustable pa rin yun. You dont need to adjust it naman if you are not glaring other motorists

[@garyqretrofit3444]

yes but that can still be manually adjusted if at the "zero position" the height is glaring motorists

This is misguiding... Most of the ford everest/Ranger models comes with auto leveling headlights. Hence please add a disclaimer to your video.

[@garyqretrofit3444]

kindly take the time to see my comments at the end, 8:00. Even auto leveling headlights can still be adjusted if the height is not correct. The first generation Everest models, 2015-2016 had a notorious problem with projectors just falling down or the height coming down too much. This is well documented in forums. You might want to check it. If this happens, you can still adjust the headlights to the correct height and remove the supply the to the motors to avoid this problem.

[@brianroque7346]

Auto levelling only adjusts the headlights to compensate for heavy cargo causing the headlight beam to go up. The baseline/"normal" beam will need to be adjusted manually at the headlight. Even cars with the manual beam adjuster at the dashboard can still be adjusted at the headlights manually, since the dashboard beam adjuster was designed for you to adjust it on-the-go when loaded with heavy cargo. Hope this helps!
