Does anyone know how to aim/adjust the headlights . I have a limited, and the headlights seem to be aiming to low?

I searched through the owners manual and it doesn't say anything about adjusting the headlights.
Looking under the hood there appears to be a White plastic nut/washer that connects to a pinion gear that could adjust the headlights. The white stands out petty good against the black plastic shroud. Not sure if it is left/right adjustment or up and down.

Give it a try and let us know.

Yeah, I'm so used to LED headlights in my previous vehicles. Can't figure out why Chrysler decided to go with halogens on the PacHy, especially since HID's and LED's are more energy efficient! I'll try to adjust the aim of mine, but may look at aftermarket HID's - I've done that upgrade before and it was easy if you follow the instructions. I'm wishing someone made LED replacements bulbs that are bright enough so we can easily swap out the dull yellow halogens.....

Following up on this. Anyone know how to aim or adjust headlights (low beams) on TL+? There are a few plastic knobs (blue?) that seem to be it but not sure if they are and which way to turn.

here are what i think are the adjustment tabs but unsure. 2 on the driver side and 2 on the passenger side. couple of them are behind a cover of some sort. the black ones look like they have teeth on them to me. also not sure which are for the low beams and which are high beams.

Projector headlights, yes even halogen need to be aimed correctly!!! Don’t just go out there aiming them into the sky blinding everyone. It would be best to really verify if they are aimed too low. They should be correctly aimed from the factory, so if they are truly too low then somehow they got changed from the factory settings. Aimed too low then you have poor down the road visibility, too high and every oncoming driver gets blinded. Best way I have seen to aim projector lights is drive on a dark road and pay attention to where the cutoff is. On flat surfaces the beam should always be below other drivers. That’s the first step to make sure they aren’t too high. Then when at fairly good speeds you need to be sure they are high enough that you feel like you can see far enough down the road.
Then once they seem just about right, find a nice clean wall to fine tune them together. Each cutoff should mirror the other side.
Here is a picture of my custom LED projector retrofit I did in our 2015 Honda Odyssey. Pretty sweet cutoff!

This is how the beams should look when aimed correctly side by side. Then down the road output as well. You should be able to see the cutoff maybe approx 4-5ish car lengths out ahead.

Ok your adjustments should be the blue ones. Just get a 7mm deep socket and turn away. Not sure which way goes up or down, but just test and tune against a wall and you’ll see them either go up or down. The black ones are attached to the blue ones. Almost like a gear if you will. The blue nylon nut turns the black one which adjusts your headlights.
I have personally never seen a separate adjustment for high and low beam. It’s usually one unit inside the headlight and both are adjusted together.

thanks JTS for the help via PM. for 2018 models, it's the blue tabs and 7mm socket. clockwise elevates the lights. for 2017 models, the tabs might be white. JTS can confirm. easy to do.

The second set of knobs could be for horizontal adjustment.

looking to aim my low beams also.. so which knob was it? the uncovered blue one that's easy to access or the blue knob that's covered behind a clip of some sort and is almost tucked into the fender? thanks in advance!!

the uncovered one that is easy to access.

My 2018 Touring L was misaligned from the factory, but the vertical adjustment is easy via the accessible blue 7mm adjustment screws. Clockwise (tighten) raises the beam. The strong cutoff from the projector headlights helps with setting -- the general rule is 2 inches below the headlamp centerline at a distance of 25 feet.

For me the Pacifica has the best aligned headlights of all the cars I’ve had. I found it especially illuminating at long highway stretches at night. My father who has otherwise difficulty in driving at night, has no issues with Pacifica. Don’t know if it’s the ride height, HID or the alignment. But my other cars with OEM HID and LED headlights don’t fare as well.

Bumping this thread. Does anyone have access to a service manual to confirm what the adjustment screws actually do? I think the [guarded] outer screws are vertical adjustment for the projector beams and the inner screws are vertical adjustment for the halogen bulbs, but I'd like someone to confirm this before I make any adjustments. The high beams are fine, but I feel like the cutoff for the low beams is a bit low. I was hoping to aim them slightly higher to improve visibility.
