HEADLAMP AIMING ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the aim vertically: Adjust the headlamp aim into the specified range by turning aiming screw A with a screwdriver. NOTE: The final turn of the aiming screw should be made in the clockwise direction. If the screw is tightened excessively, loosen it and then retighten it, so that the final turn of the screw is in the clockwise direction.
Perform low-beam aim adjustment. HINT: The headlamp aim moves up when turning the aiming screw clockwise, and moves down when turning the aiming screw counterclockwise.

Reply to autodoc_2000's Post: the adjustment screw you refer to has an aperture with triangular teeth and a nut on the back - is this correct?

Yes the triangle teeth is where you insert the phillips head screwdriver in order to turn the adjuster. I know it looks and sounds strange, but you put the point of the screwdriver into the teeth and turn and it will adjust them.
