Headlight alignment


I was fed up with my headlights being way too low.
Found the elevation adjusting screws, but can't find any adjustment for azimuth (left & right).
What gives?
As it stands now, my beams are adjusted up nicely, but both are somewhat to the right of where I want them.
Am I stuck, or is there a hidden adjuster somewhere?
Help!

Hmmm... memory test.... been a while....
I THINK:
On my '99, they are a vertically oriented screw buried down somewhat behind the reflector. I think on the inner side (by radiator)... I had to look for a while, and when searching with flashlight, I looked straight down and saw the head.

Best I can tell, the 05+ doesn't allow for that adjustment. You need to loosen them up and try bolting them back down where you want them.
