If I remember correctly turning the screw to the right is down and turning the screw to the left is up. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I don't have my car here to check. Keep track how many turns you give it just in case so you can go back to where you were. I brought mine both up just a hair so the drop off wasn't so harsh. I haven't had anyone flash their brights at me yet so I guess I am good.

Can someone post a picture for the location of the adjusting headlight screw?

it's a white plastic piece behind the headlight use a 8mm wrench to adjust it...the driver side is harder to get to so probably need an extension to reach in there. the passenger side is easy to get though

from what i know, that's actually correct buddy. the left one isn't actually "lower" persay, but it's cutoff is lower. i'm not sure about the reason, but my first guess is it being the US, the left one is lower to avoid blinding cars driving the opposite direction and the right one is tech. higher for better reading of signs.

Thats exactly the reason if you raise it to the level of the passenger side one you will blind people left and right.

your left headlight is supposed to be lower than the right. the right is higher to better illuminate street signs and also so the left won't blind people.

Don't you need to adjust or re-aim the headlight if you drop your car? I noticed that the lumination of my headlight shorten in distance after the drop...I think? Anyone?
