HIDs - adjustable for a 'neutral' position

Halogen - stickers

yes, there are little levers on the back of the lights to adjust them.

light is poor once adjusted though.

check your book for the correct positions  :y

if you need stickers...

ive heard a very light smear of vaseline over the lights 1st will allow them to stick well enough for short term, but come off easily....

never tried it myself though.

I put stickers on mine this summer. Sticker came off ok but the glue needed a combination of Jif, autosol and elbow grease. I did end up with much clearer lenses though. Even so, nice tip about the vaseline.

If I still have the car next summer I dont think I'll bother with stickers. It's not like the headlights on a 1999 gls are going to dazzle anyone. :y

In the 90's I used to do a lot of driving 'over there' for work, sometimes out and back twice in a week. I never bothered with stickers then, but if I got flashed from oncoming traffic I adjusted the range down a bit.
