yes remove the plastic grill by removing the clips on top and pulling out the bottom.

you will then have a wide open view of the headlight mounting and adjustment hardware.

play with the adjustment screws and set to your desired angle.

No need to remove the grill, just a long Torx into the little hole access slots on the outsides of the lights. T-15 I think? Clockwise raises, counter-clockwise lowers the light beams. (or vise-versa)

Search on 'headlights' and you'll see many threads on this, with advice on how to adjust for proper height.

Yes.......you'll see the "indents" where the T-15 torx driver goes at the 2 and 10 position. Recently I lowered mine 1.5 turns and it made a world of difference. Not only do I not get the highbeam flash anymore, but it brought my highbeams down on the road instead of up in the treetops. I can actually see now.
