'02 Coupe. How to aim/adjust headlights? Screw?

ACEdubs · Jul 25, 2008

Hello,

Can someone tell me where the aim/adjust screw is on my '02 Coupe's headlights. Need to aim the headlights a little better. Thanks!

Ben

Read the manual?

Do you have a copy you can email me? Unfortunately my used Coupe came with an empty glove box.

There is a little wheel just to the left of the steering wheel next to the headlamp switch. You can't really miss it.

unfortunately I don't have the little wheel either?? I have a 6M Coupe, maybe it did come with electronic adjustment?

Not here either - and although I'll check again, don't seem to recall it during my various persuls through the manual or the Maserati repair manual - but will look again since I could use a small adjustment.

I haven't done it but I saw in this forum that the adjustments are accessed by removing the forward section of the wheel well liner. Not really meant to be adjusted after assembly. That's for the xenon lights, as I understood it.

If you have no "wheel" on the dash then you should have xenon lights fitted. They have automatic adjustment for ride-height. These are not, as far as I know, adjustable by hand - if they are out of alignment a dealer visit may be in order.

If you really want to take alook the headlights can be removed by disassembling the surrounding panels including the one inside the wheel arch. and unbolting the headlight assembly. There was another recent post describing this procedure.

Off topic.

Barbuckle, is your GS a 2007? I thought the last year was 2006. Did you guys in Europe get another year of production?

RussianGS_dude · Jul 27, 2008

Mine is a 2008.

barbuckle · Jul 28, 2008

The year on my signature is the first registration for use as a new car in the UK (June 2007).
As to the production date - hard to say. But I remember being unable to visit the Maserati factory at end of 2006 as they were re-tooling the line for GT production to commence so I guess the last production GS's were late 2006 or early 2007 at latest?

Note that USA cars with xenon lights do NOT have automatic adjustment for ride height.

ok, I have halogen bulbs in projectors. Came standard. I think I see the motor attached to the bottom of the headlight, the motor for adjusting the aim.
I'm confused though. My headlights are out of adjustment.

Anybody have any new insight on this? My lights are very low and need to adjust higher.
