Camaro HID Headlamps adjusting beam angle
Hi guys got a question as i'm a bit stuck. Ive got a 2014 Camaro with the HID headlamps, I bought it in the UK but live and keep it in Spain. Problem i have is that the headlights have been adjusted to driving in uk so have the beam slightly higher on the left which would point to the edge of the road in UK but obviously just blinds the oncoming drivers in Spain. I have been told by a mechanic that some HID lamps can be angled or switched between raised on one side or just a flat beam. Ive had no luck trying to get in contact with anyone from Chevrolet, any one here had any experience with this before? Is there a way to adjust them or do I need to buy new headlights?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've hit a wall getting information and i really don't want to be spend over a thousand euros on new units if there is a simple way to sort this. |

If you search here, there is an adjustment screw you can use an allen key with to adjust the vertical height on each side.

Its not the height i need to adjust its the actual beam they put out. instead of it being a flat line its flat then goes up at an angle on the left side and then flattens out again. hard to explain but want to know if there is a way to adjust to make it flat beam.

It can be done, but you will have to get the flap out of the light and mod that to get the thing 100% flat.

you need a set of LHD headlights or to open the headlight and flip the cutoff shield inside the projector. Probably better to just buy the new headlights honestly.
