How do you adjust the headlights on a 2007 Toyota Camry?
When I drive my car at night, the headlights only shine about 20 feet in front of my car. My buddy says I can reposition them pretty easily to make them shine farther. How do you adjust the headlights on a 2007 Toyota Camry?

There are lots of things—like driving over bumpy roads or buying new tires—that can jiggle your headlights out of alignment. Luckily, it is an easy fix!
You can adjust the headlights on a 2007
Toyota Camry
using an **8mm socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws behind the lights. **To begin, make sure that you are parked on a flat surface about 25 feet away from a flat, vertical surface like a wall or garage door. Grab an 8mm socket wrench, and some masking tape. You can also use this time to clean your headlights as well—it makes a real difference!
First, park your car with the headlights less than a foot away from your vertical surface. Turn on your headlights, and use the masking tape to make a cross (or lower-case t) shape on the wall where your headlights are the brightest and most direct.
Next, back the car up 25 feet and check the headlight position against the tape on the wall. If the headlights do not match up with the tape, they need to be adjusted.
Prop open the hood, and locate the 8mm adjustment screw on the back of each headlight. Turn the screw clockwise to lower the beams, and counter-clockwise to raise them. When they are even with the tape again, you are all set!
