    Why do we have nipples on our headlights?

    forgive me for the title it was all i could think of at the moment. but the real question is why do we have nipples on our headlamps? and can we grind them off? what is their purpose.? are they functional ?

    i would just like it to look cleaner thats all ............Thank You

    it's for a headlight aiming tool........ pretty sure you can't grind them off (maybe with some precision equipment) the JDM and EDM ones do not have them.

        you can grind em down but then you have a huge looking imperfection.
        I ground my top ones down so my eyelids fit better.
        I didn't mind since I covered em up.

        If you do grind em go slow so you don't crack your headlights.

                I have never been given a stright answer on this.

                I have never once seen anything for aiming a headlight that uses the nipples, if you have then post it up because i don't belive you

                And they aren't part of the mold because they can be made without them

                              so all in all the nipples are ONLY used for aiming or to be used with an aiming device to allow for an accurate level of light not to high or low. But if they are removed their will be no loss in visibility? also how is it that EDM and JDM lights favor the left side ? i'd assume only with the reflectors... so maybe you can buy JDM (nippless headlamps ) remove the reflector and just mate the reflector of our USDM ones and then were good..?

                              this was all just for my knowledge and to be shared thanks everyone for their input thats why CB7tuner.com is one of the best forums alive
