viper headlights

GTSR13 · Apr 21, 2023

Hello everyone. One of the winter projects that I'm just getting around to is adjusting my headlights on my recently purchased gen V acr. Driving at night last year the beam seemed awfully low. I have read some posts about the hood/bumper closure being uneven but mine looks fine. Does anyone know how to vertically adjust the gen V headlights?
Thanks guys!

If they are anything like the gen 3/4, the adjuster was on the inside of the engine bay on the inner fender under a little rubber cap. I would maybe poke around up there to start with. Wish I had one I could go look at, but guessing someone on here will chime in at some point with a more precise location.

I hunted around for pics and they are kinda scarce. I did find this one that shows some of the works. Looks to me like you'll have to remove at least one closure panel on the backside to see if adjusters are behind. I don't know if the entire housing moves, or if the individual lamps are adjusted like the Gen 1&2.

Yeah, when the flopped the hood back to the front hinge I had a feeling the gen 3/4 setup might not be as convenient and may have changed.

Should have mentioned that i pulled off the back panel and couldn't identify the adjuster.

There are usually a minimum of 3-4 contact points for each lamp in the pod. Assuming 3, one will be fixed with some swivel freedom, then you will have one for L/R and another for U/D.

Hi @GTSR13 did you ever figure this out? I just picked up a Gen V and the headlight pattern looks a little low to me.
