Open your hood..... look at your headlight assembly from the top (to the side of the H4 socket) and you will see a WHITE HEX thingie.

Use a flat head screwdriver and turn it.... it will move the beam up and down. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

looks like a plastic part to me. i'd be real careful with a screwdriver. you could always just pick up an allen wrench from the hardware store. couldn't be more than a buck or two.

Yeah it's an allen socket, but most people won't have the socket's size...

A big flat head screwdriver does the trick for most of us.
