2K2 Headlight Adjustment

Need assistance with adjusting my headlights (2K2 Max SE). I found the white **** (uses mayble a 8mm wrench), that connects to another one. I assume by the look of it, that the up/down, right/left adjustment is dependent upon the connection to the lower one. Any help would be appreciated. User manual is no help.

There is no left/right adjustment. You will need to do this at night (hard to HID's during the day ). Park on flat level surface about 30 feet away from a white building (convenient store, grocery store, circuit city, etc..). Use the cover for the jack in the trunk to cover one of the lights. Use the 8mm socket and adjust the remaining light up or down. Remember the spot on the wall where your new level is. Move the cover to the light you just adjusted. Adjust the remaining light to the same level. Use cover to go back and forth between lights for comparison. Once done replace cover in trunk.

Can someone please move this advice to the How-To sticky.... It might come in handy when a body shop reinstalls lights after HID theft, and does not align properly.

Thanks....
