Anyone know the proper settings (if you park close to a wall and mark a line and adjust to that line) ?????

On the 06+, the is a screw, behidn the rubber flap by the grill, you have to look into the hole, and it adjusts it up and down...I do not know the proper settings for the lights, but I adjusted mine down tonight due to some new HID's and noticed a big difference. On the way to the store to buy the right screwdriver, I could see my lights hitting people in the face, on the way back, they were perfect, I just adjusted them down to where I thought they should be. I will probably go to the dealer here one day and have them do the proper settings for them.

Yep, a torx screwdriver is needed, I had to do this the other day, I got tired of being flashed (by other cars, not girls) when I had my regular lights on.

Headlights are adjusted from the backside, not the front.
Fogs have no adjustment.

In order to properly adjust the lights, you should be on level ground and parked 25ft away facing a wall. Measure the height of the light bulb from the ground to the center of it. The center of the beam pattern on the wall should be 2" below the actual bulb height.
I like to go 30ft from the wall as it's a little more accurate. The whole idea is to have a slight downgrade in the projected beam pattern.
