Ok I did a search and it looks like I need to use a phillips head screwdriver and something clicks that looks like a gear thing that is between the HID and high beam bulb. I looked in that area and the only thing I can see is a grayish circle thing that has a socket head on the end of it that I can use a socket to turn clockwise or counterclockwise. I definitely do not hear or feel any clicks like people said you would plus I do not see anywhere that a philips head goes into. What am I missing here??? This is for US headlights and I am wanting to raise the beam slightly to see the difference it makes. Thanks

The factory adjustments are set so you dont blind on coming traffic. The grayish thing is the adjuster knob I believe.

Actually I was about to ask a similar question. I had my headlights removed for some body work and now I dont think mine are adjusted right. My passenger side is lower definitely. Anyone know the exact measurments that they should be at? Such as distance aiming and height from ground up that the beam is?

That's a good follow up question to mine. I too would like to know what they consider the optimal setting to be. I did more searching and I guess you can adjust it with either that screwdriver or by using the socket head. I know that the headlights are purposely staggard and all but even the driver side seems like it can go up quite a bit and still not "bounce" into the oncoming drivers eyes.

I know that the "step up" in the beam patterns should overlap eachother. As to the height of the throw of the beam at a specific distance... You got me.

A couple of inches below horizontal at 25 feet. IIRC. It's in the Helm manual.

Where you see that nut, look just a little forward. There is a sort of toothed gear and two plastic tabs. If you put the screwdriver between the two tabs, it meshes with the teeth and turns them. IIRC it requires a 12-inch long #2 Phillips.

I had new 2004 headlights installed and they are definately angled higher than my 2000's. They blind traffic in front of me as I see their entire cabin is lit up. I definately bling oncoming traffic as people flash me all the time (more often than I got before). I love the visibility but I don't want to cause a hazard. I'll probbaly play with this and try to lower them slightly.

US model is different. We only have vertical adjustment.
