    Default adjusting headlights

    ok so i got the grill off and exposed the headllights but it seems one of the adjusting screws is hidden behind the park light/blinker, any suggestions on how to adjust the headlights?

    the lateral one usually has a long white plastic adjuster on the rear of it that points back into the engine bay (e code)

    I use a thin shanked phillips to adjust it from the front since those were poop on mine.

    US i don't think they even have a phillips head, think you just have to turn them via the knurled shank. It has been a long time since i took my US headlight off, so my memory may be questionable.

    DOT thinks you are too stupid to be trusted to aim your own headlights horizontally apparently.

    The vertical adjuster is the lowest one, and can be adjusted without removing grills assuming you have a thin shanked #2 screwdriver.
