How do you adjust the angle of the headlight beam?
I dropped my car now the lights need some adjustments where I need to raise it a little.

I don't want to ask the dealer to raise them. Any insight on how I can do this?

Thanks.

Pop the hood. You will see a hole right near each head light. Put a + screw driver in it and adjust. I just did mine the other day.

You don't have self adjusting xenon lights?

geez that was easy! I just did it..

I'm not sure if the lights are self adjusting. I just noticed that my lights are aiming too low...after raising them I can see further..thanks

I suggest you park in front of a wall or garage door. And make sure both the beam pattern is even.
