Headlights Manual Adjustment
Hi guys. I managed to find out how to manually adjust the headlights separately. However, I can only adjust for the dipped beam and not the high beam. can anyone advise how to manually adjust the high beam?

You cannot adjust the beams separately. In the US and Canada, national laws forbid that. The same holds true for most European countries.

Did you switch from the euro beam to US beam if you are in the states? I thought that would help more for your low beams. High beams just flood up so you don't really need to adjust those because they adjust with the low beams.

The hi/lo beam adjustment is pre-set at the factory and the adjustment screws are sealed so that they cannot be easily adjusted.

At the top of the light there is a Hexagon kknob for adjusting the low beam. You need a hexagon ended spanner to adjust it. But for the high beam it is not automatic as the other guy says. It just doesnt move at all and mine is pointing way too low. lower than the low beam even.
