Gen5 Aiming low beams

i need to lower my low beams just a little bit. I've researched on the forum. All i found out was to find some kind of a screw near the headlight assembly... Can you guys clearify exactly where the bolt is to adjust the headlight ? thanks a lot

i opened my hood and checked thanks to your picture, zettahertz. But i found it to be a nut ? i can only turn it with a wrench. Does anyone know which wrench it'll fit ? i tried a 10mm wrench but it was way too big. I'm guessing its 8mm or lower. thanks

you can still use a regular screwdriver if it only has a nut. thats what the teeth and that channel is for... stick the screwdriver down that plastic channel and just turn the adjustment screw that way.

dude, in this day in age, with everything made in china, buy yourself a 20-40 dollar tool set, with ratchet, sockets and wrenches.

i cant understand how people can own a car/ have a house without it..
