Theta - how to adjust headlights up slightly
Theta, I would like to adjust my headlights up slightly.. currently just
don't shine far enough. Do you have any information on how to do this and get access to the headlights?
Thanks..

Theta...
WOW, Fantastic...
The adjustment appears to be right there.. a simple phillips
screwdriver will do.
I was previously told i would have to remove the front wheels and wheel well liners and go through there.. what a headache.
But , if the adjustment is as appears, just remove the cover and it's right there...
You are a blessing...
THANKS

You actually have to remove the wheels, wheel liners, and front bumper to gain access to change a bulb.
Now that's fun stuff.
Enjoy!

Sadly, I'm not joking. I was going to replace my bulbs (Corrected: D2S) with slightly cooler temps (5000k), and couldn't believe it when I found that....

I believe you will need a metric allen wrench and a fairly big one.

So first off thanks for the tutorial on aiming headlights. I couldn’t find it anywhere on YouTube and I’m tired of not being able to see. Now, when the time comes that I see my Z06 has turned into One-eyed *****, you will all see a post 2016 Z06 for sale, low miles, excellent condition, needs nothing except one headlight bulb. I already bought the bulb, just no time to change it.

You "only" need to remove the front bumper cover, and then remove the headlight assembly to change the bulb or ballast. The wheels and wheel well liners do not have to be removed.

OP;
*Counter clockwise= Up headlight.
*Clockwise= Down headlight.
I adjusted mine one complete revolution, (Counterclockwise).
Note1: Reference point, Red marking pen to plastic adjustment screw.
Note2: Philips screwdriver.
Note3: 3-5 minutes to complete.
Many thanks,
Ray
