How do you adjust the headlights on a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo?

To adjust the headlights on a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo, you will need the following tools:

- Flat blade screwdriver

- Phillips-head screwdriver

- Tape measure

- Level

1. Park your Rodeo on a flat surface, facing a wall or building that is about 15-20 feet away.

2. Turn on your headlights.

3. Open the hood of your Rodeo and locate the headlight adjustment screws. There are two screws for each headlight, one for the vertical adjustment and one for the horizontal adjustment.

4. Use the flat blade screwdriver to turn the vertical adjustment screw. Turning the screw clockwise will raise the headlight beam, while turning it counterclockwise will lower it.

5. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to turn the horizontal adjustment screw. Turning the screw clockwise will move the headlight beam to the right, while turning it counterclockwise will move it to the left.

6. Continue to adjust the headlights until they are properly aimed. The center of the headlight beam should be about 2-3 inches below the top of the headlight lens, and they should be evenly spaced from each other.

7. Once the headlights are adjusted properly, close the hood and test them out by driving around in a dark area.

Remember, it's important to adjust your headlights if you install a new headlight bulb, as the new bulb could have a different focal point than the old one.
