how the heck do you adjust and aim the headlights? i was parked in front of a building last night and when i turned on my lights i noticed that the drivers side is a little higher than the passenger. i need to aim it a little lower so its even.

looking down at your headlights with the hood up, there will be a hole in the frame that goes down into a slot on the headlight. put a screw driver in there and turn, it turns a gear which adjusts the headlights. i think counterclockwise turns them down. i'll post a pic if you can't find it.

I didn't even know you could adjust them. Good to know.

if you still have your owners manual it will tell you how to and what to adjust them to. quite possibly the only thing that book is good for, unless you somehow need to read 3 pages on the different ignition settings
