Default headlight adjustment

Lately while driving at night, people have been flashing their lights at me, So I am thinking my lights need adjusting, HOW? I only found 1 torx screw on the inside of each assembly, does this move the lights up or down, or is there another torx screw hidden some where?

There is 1 Torx in between the 2 inside headlight removal ones (Behind grille). That is the adjustment screw. Its smaller then the removal ones to.

It's pretty funny that we both posted the same thread at the same time!

I have this problem too, and I would imagine it is due to the rear sagging a tiny bit in the last 5 years...

Atleast its not like Ford, they manufacture the little Transits with the lights aimed so high you could signal a ****ing aircraft! my work has like 10 of them.
