its sooo easy.. but its hard to explain.. get your manual, and read what it says, and it will show you a diagram.. its simple.. all you need is a screw driver...

BUT

becareful with how much you play with the aim.. i did it and turn them proably like 8 turns.. and now they point right in everyones eyes as if the brights were on.. now every flashes me as they go by, and i just havnt got around to lowering them..

i would say like 2 complete turns would be good.. but, good luck.. hope this helps

There's instructions in the manual regarding headlight alignment and needing
to be 20 ft away from a wall and something or other. OR, just pull into your
garage and leave about 2-3 ft of space between the headlights and the garage
wall. Turn on the headlights and mark the wall with a pencil where the light hits.
Then use the screwdriver and start to turn the adjuster screw, you'll see the
light pattern move up/down, and then you'll know which way to turn the screw.

all cars headlights are directed just a wee bit to the right (just a wee bit). you should never have to adjust right or left anyways.
