I'm sure others know how, they just don't want to tell . It's really quite easy.

Correct. There are 2 of these nuts per side.

The bottom nut on each light can be adjusted with a small socket wrench and 10mm socket thru the engine bay behind the light itself. These bottom nuts either raise or lower the beam. Loosening the nut will raise the beam...tightening it, will lower it. See attached pic:

(I've since done an HID retrofit, hence my D2S/D2R connector you also see pictured .)




The top nut on each light moves the beam either rigtht or left. Of course tightening the nut, will bring the beam in, while loosening the nut will push the beam out. To adjust these nuts, you can use either a flat head screwdriver with a small head by slowly turn the plastic teeth as pictured below or you can use a small 10mm open ended wrench to turn the plastic nut on the backside (you'll see what I mean when you go to do it). These top nuts are located at the top corner of the lights near the grille. See attached pic:





Once you know how to adjust them, you can properly aim them. For more on aiming, check out this site: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html
