How do you adjust the headlights in a sonata?

Answer 1

The headlights on my 2002 Sonata are adjusted using a #2 Phillips screwdriver with an eight inch long blade. The up and down adjustment is accessed through a hole in the car's sheet metal body near the light assembly. Look carefully on the rubber surrounding the light assembly and you will see a "U" arrow and a "D" arrow.

The left and right adjustment is much more visible and can be adjusted with the same screwdriver, although a short one will do the trick here. You may have to remove or break away a small white plastic piece which is blocking the adjusting mechanism. I didn't bother replacing that piece because I lost it and it's not really needed any more. Again, look carefully on the rubber surrounding the light assembly for the "L" arrow and the "R" arrow. Now that you have found these adjustments in the daylight, wait till darks to make the final adjustments.
