Help wanted abt re-aiming headlights

This link in 4th gen faqs explains the concept but it doesn't say whether there are any screws or sthg that can be turn left or right, up or down in Nissan cars. Can someone help me locate the screws in 4th gen ?

Thanks.

I have the cefiro one pieces and they are a bit different but IIRC there are four aiming screws. They are pretty easy to find. Open the hood and look behind the the back of the headlight. Just try messing with them at night with the lights on pointing at a wall or a garage door and you will see how they change the beam.

Not really, I would have someone drive behind you and at you and make sure your not blinding them.

ok cool, thanks. When I look at them on a wall (turned on) it looks to me like they are straight, but the beam sort of angles off to the right (passenger side) and up at a slant a little bit on both headlights. Do you see this as well with yours?

just curious.

Thanks

the right headlight should point up and to the right a bit. In RHD countries all headlights are like that to better see road signs.
