There is a small silver Torx screw towards the top of the head light at about 10 and 2 oclock. You need use #T15 driver to adjust it out. You have to turn counter clock wise to adjust the light down.

On a previous vehicle, I fixed that problem by installing a pair of 150mm 100 watt Hella driving lights.

They don't flash their lights a second time

I find that even if you dim the lights in their view, some drivers still flash their lights at you. Hmmmmm.....

For proper adjustment, is there a given distance you should be away from a wall or garage door, and how many inches from the ground should the high and low beam shine on the wall or door. Thanks Dan

What he said. I'd like mine to be properly adjusted and not just done by eye, but if that's the only way to go, obviously that's what is getting done.

And I've only been hit with someone's highbeams 3 times, twice while sitting at stoplights facing each other, turning on my high beams the rest of the light seemed to get the message across. lol In general though I'd like to make sure I have my beams properly set, not only so I don't blind anyone else, but so I get the best lighting for driving at night.
