Question Headlight Adjustment

I went searching around and didn't find too much about how to adjust them. I know about the special tools, but I just want to tweak one a bit. When I park and my lights hit a wall or my garage door, it aggrivates the cr@p out of me that one's a little higher than the other (yes, I'm the OCD guy that straightens out slightly crooked pictures on the walls, too). Unless it's normal for the lights to look a little out of whack when shining on a wall...

I turned the Torx/hex screws behind the light and it didn't seem to move anything. Anyone have some info on this??

Joe

Those 2 torx bolts are the adjustment.

hhmmm... I put several turns on the one I wanted to move and it didn't. Just wanted to move it up slightly. I'll try them again a bit later...

It's normal for the left to be a lower than the right so your not blinding oncoming traffic. Adjust with your low beams on. Hope this helps.
