Well how the heck do you adjust them?

I bought the tool to change the virtical angle but they wont budge.

Ive sprayed PB down the shaft 2 times and, really cant see anything else to spray. It all hidden.

Any idea?

Youngblood,

Near the outer, upper corner (driver's side of the left headlamp and right side of the passenger's headlamp) there is a tiny, hex drive shaft sticking out from between the upper crossmember and the plastic of the bezel. I think its something ridiculous like 4mm or smaller. Give those a few twists and you will see the vertical focus begin to shift. The mechanism is actually a right angle gearing that runs an adjuster screw at the bottom of the headlamp assembly.

Thanks GS.

I tried to adjust it with a pair for very small vice grips. But it wouldnt budge. So i went to the local auto store (Murrays) and got the head light adjuster.

I cant even get these things to turn even a little.

Will I have to take the head light out?
