I don't have that info right now, but it's pre-facelift base halogen headlights.

Anyone???

I think it's pretty ridiculous that the manual states that the height should be checked/adjusted once in awhile, especially after changing a bulb, but doesn't tell you how to do it and tells you to take it to the dealer.

Thank you!! Found the adjustment points after reading your post. I shined a light at the white parts and on the base it reads Up (turn counterclockwise) and Down (turn clockwise). It was very easy...now the headlights are aimed higher to shine a bit further down the road but not enough to be offensive and blind oncoming traffic.
