How to aim headlights?

I know there are two black things that use an 8mm socket to turn on the back of each headlight housing. which one is the one i would use to aim my headlights lower, the upper, or lower one? and would i turn clockwise or counterclockwise to do so? thanks

Im not sure how to focus the light, but I have a problem with my headlights to. People always tell me it looks like my high beams are on.

... just turn them and find out, it isnt that hard. You can see the headlight assembly moving when u turn the black things.

Alright, instead of telling me the obvious that i could just turn them, you could have said which way. Now that i know its the lower ones, ill have to guess which way is up or down.

ONCE again I will say this, Its the lower black tab. I think when you turn it towars the left (loosen) It lower's and towards the right (tighten) It will raise. I had to do them for my hids. Pay very close attention to what your doing so you can aim they right. Its nothing hard.

You are right. i just did this couple of days ago for my new bulbs, once again clockwise(tighten) is up and counter-clockwise(loosen) is down. The upper screw will move them side to side clockwise-right and coutner clockwise-left.
