adjusting headlamps

Anyone here know how to adjust the headlamp height? one seems to be a bit lower then the other.


thanks in advance!

I just took my car in and the dealer said the right side is designed to be a little higher than the left side, so it wouldn't be blinding the on coming traffic. They also said the lights auto adjust themselves so they couldn't manually adjust the height.

Ideally the level should be set on STAR both the same for both lamps in my book

on the back of the headlamps. I am not looking at them now, but you should be able to find them. there are two holes in the lights and the screws are down inside.

Thanks so much for the info. I'll look at them more closely later on. Hope I can find them!
