How do you adjust headlights on 96 cavalier?

To adjust the headlights on a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier, you will need a Phillips-head screwdriver and a flat-head screwdriver.

Here are the steps:

1. Open the hood of your car.

2. Locate the headlight adjustment screws on the back of the headlight housing. There will be two screws, one for the vertical adjustment and one for the horizontal adjustment.

3. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to turn the vertical adjustment screw clockwise to raise the headlight, and counterclockwise to lower it.

4. Use the flat-head screwdriver to turn the horizontal adjustment screw clockwise to move the headlight beam to the right, and counterclockwise to move it to the left.

5. Once the headlights are adjusted to your desired position, close the hood of your car.

Here are some additional tips:

* Make sure to park your car on a level surface when you are adjusting the headlights.

* If you are having difficulty adjusting the headlights, you may need to remove the headlight housing to get better access to the adjustment screws.

* It is a good idea to have someone stand in front of the car while you are adjusting the headlights to help you see where the beams are pointed.
