Light adjustment after new front elka shocks

[Tru-Blue]

Today I installed new Elka shocks on my 2011 RT and need to adjust my lights. Help with this would be very appreciated. :bowdown:

Thanks,

Take off the panel where you would check your oil and the same panel on the other side. You will see the fittings to adjust the lights up or down. Directions are in the manual also

Thanks for the information!
I have not ventured to take off any panels yet.... so I will look in the manual and see what damage I can do :yikes:.

Check out this video. It shows how to remove the panel to get to the light adjustment.

RT or RS? The RT adjustments are under the side covers, as shown above. The RS adjusts with a Phillips screwdriver through slots directly under the lenses. See your manual.

Thanks for the help. I removed the panels and adjusted the lights :thumbup:. I am happy it was a simple 1st adventure with removing the panels. :2thumbs:

He has an RT in his photo album of his profile:thumbup:



I heard the shocks raise the front end.
Are you adjusting the headlights because
motorists were flashing you after the Elka install?

Yes. My neighbour said that they were right a eye level.
