Default Headlight Adjustment

I have been getting flashed for quite some time at night, because my low beams seem to be quite high. The wife was driving in front of me one night and claimed I was blinding her as if I had my high beams on.

Anyone know how to adjust them? I see on the inside of each headlight, near the grille and behind a rubber flap there is a T20 torque screw, but it appears to be for horizontal adjustment. I am only guessing that, since it is on the side of the headlight.

Anyone know the proper way of adjusting them, and where each adjustment screw is?

Thanks.

Thats the one you would want to adjust. It aims the headlight Up/Down. (Not the entire headlight, just the reflector inside)
I originally thought the same thing since it was on the side.

Oh ok, great.


Thanks.


I am guessing that you would adjust the screw counter-clockwise to lower the beam?

I'll find out soon enough if no one knows.
