Is there an adjustment screw to "aim" the headlights? My passenger side appears to be aimed lower that the driver side. Also, is there one for the fog lights on a SE?

Lamp adjustment screws >>

Are located behind the headlamp housing. For the 4th gen, they are of the post type (requiring an 8mm wrench), extending out of the housing bracket, and are located low on the outboard side and high on the inboard side (near the radiator). 4th Gen lamps are externally aimed (meaning the entire housing moves when the lamp is adjusted). 5th Gen owners are lucky enough to have the internally aimed HB2 housings. Like the 4th Gen lamps, there are two adjustment points for vertical and horizontal position, but in the 5th Gen they are configured as ***** requiring a Philips head screwdriver.

Both 4th and 5th Gen foglamps are adjustable with a single screw located in the back of the housing. Adjusting this screw alters the vertical AND horizontal position of the lamp, so take care when performing the aiming operation.
