Hi Guys,

Just wondering if someone can tell me how to adjust the headlights on my prado ??

The drivers side headlight is a fair bit higher than the passenger side.

Thanks Heaps

Should be a couple of adjusting bolts on the back of the light. Will check it out later if you can find anything.

Hi Chiefy,
The headlight adjusters (two per unit) are grey coloured round plastic nuts with slots cut in them diagaonally, the adjuster nuts are turned by inserting a flat blade screwdriver and levering them clockwise or anti clockwise, my understading is that there is minimal horizontal adjustment mainly verticle. There is a similar single verticle adjusting nob for each front foglight.
Hope this helps a little
