Aiming Headlights and Fog Lights...
 
So I have the cobra front bumper with fogs and new lights... what is the proper way to aim them.. the fogs have a screw i can turn to make them go up and down but how do i adjust the headlights? any tutorials?

There should be the same type of screw. The Cobra has a white knob with a hex cut-out in the middle of it. It's right on the top, near the radiator cover almost.

i still have the GT harness and bulbs and shit so.

Still the same thing, should be something that looks like a hex or phillips (One of my sets of headlights has a hex the other set has a phillips I think), screw that left or right to adjust the headlight up or down.

I'm sure you already know this, but I'll just throw it here....With you're drivers side headlamp, aim that down a bit more than the passenger headlamp so that you're not blinding oncoming traffic. A lot of people think that both lights should be aimed the same, but those people are very wrong.

Really? The manual says to aim both the same. Maybe I need to check my headlights then...

nice tidbit, bout the aiming but if its a 99-04 then theres a screw on the top of the lens, i think its either right to the left or right of the inside locking pin

I was taught to do it a different way, but the result is the same. I was always told to aim the drivers headlight inboard a bit (aka slightly angled towards the center of the car.)
