Factory Headlight Adjustment

[DAMCars]

Is there a special trick to adjusting the factory headlights? I'm trying to lower mine, and the 2 adjustment screws on either side of the headlights don't seem do do anything. Am I missing something?

5mm socket on the back of that electric thing that's not plugged in on the top back of the headlight.

Please update, I need to adjust mine when I make it back home.

Turn the rear 5mm screw clockwise (as viewed from the driver's seat, I think) three times, and you'll see the lights move. It's easiest to shine your lights against a garage door or something so you can measure the amount the light lowered, 1 degree or an inch or whatever. Then road test it, and re-adjust if necessary.

One interesting thing that I wanted to dig into a bit is the Roxor factory headlight. The electronic box may adjust the headlights for load level if attached to a controller.

I didn't find anything online yet. Might just have to disassemble one.

I lowered my head lights using a 5mm socket on the black box on top the headlight assembly, cause they were blinding on coming traffic, even on low beam, since they are right hand drive head lights, and anyone doing an actual "full" inspection for road legal should catch that. They are not road legal head lights in North America.
