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.

There are two adjustments. On the top is one, and on the inner backside is a allen key adjustment. Use the allen key adjustment first. It's like any other car..

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.
