there is a knob (kinda like a knob) you can turn using a flat head screwdriver or something to adjust the aim higher or lower.

if your car is under warranty, you can have the dealer aim it properly for you.

The car's manual also covers this procedure if you want more details.

haha... thanks for the compliment... I do what I can to help... its my 2nd nature (????) hehehe

I tried hanging out in the OT forum for 1 day and posting conversational nonsense once, but Brian kinda scolded me for doing it, so.... so I went back to only posting productive, helping, informative posts...

Glad I was of service to you...

This is not your fathers Oldsmobile.

The adjustment screw you folks are turning applies only for the standard headlamps............if your car has Xenon headlamps, the range adjustment operates automatically.

Hint: If it's not adjusting, check the fuse for the N71 headlight range adjustment control module (e.g. it's located in position 13 in the engine bay F1 fuse/relay box).
