Well, I'm going to have to look for myself, I guess. I took it to my Subaru dealer that installed my RB320 kit to have my headlights adjusted. The mechanic came out and told me that the adjustment wheel inside was all I have. They said that there aren't any adjustment screws on the back of my 06 headlights !

Some techs, even good ones are quick to answer without actualy checking. Lots of models to keep up with. I have a Collision repair shop and we are into lights of all models all the time. The adjustments are vastly different from one model to another. Not always easy to see. Let me know if you have problems.

Its there, it looks like a gear *silver or white with teeth*. Just stick a phillips screw driver down into it and rotate. can't remember from the top of my head which way makes adjustments up or down. I have an 06 and it was the first thing I did when I got the car! Hope that helps!


Kind Regards,
Ryan

So I cheaped out and bought Prodrive springs and group N strut tops. I just couldn't justify the $2700 for the RB320.

Will this feel remotely close to the RB320 struts and springs, or am I just fooling myself?
