Re: Low beam on 06 HCH
Honda may be the exception, but rare is the car with adjustable headlights
that I have bought that did not need at least minor adjusting after I bought it.
Dealers adjust by pointing the lights at a calibrated board,
not as accurate as having it out on the road at night. It will be close,
but unlikely to be perfect if you are picky about such things.
Surprisingly however, my HCH-I is ok in that respect,
I have not needed to adjust it.
I had one car that the left headlight aimed way up into the sky
and did not light the road at all. Took more than three turns to fix it too.
I suspect that is because I did not let them detail the car, so not really
their fault.
That said low-beams should point slightly down, and slightly to the right,
to pretty much avoid any possibility of blinding oncoming traffic. :-)
