How to adjust headlights?
Ok so for the life of me i can not get them to move. The only adjustment **** i see has a L/R on it (next to highbeam) SO i tried this and it has no bearing on movement up, down nor left, right. Is there another adjustment **** i am missing?

I just did this on my 95...
Are you looking at the bubble directly above the headlights to check for up/down movement? Should be encased in a circular plastic, mine was so cloudy I never knew it was there... cleaned it off with headlight repair solution & was able to see it move up and down.
... also, If I'm recalling correctly, there is another 8mm bolt just below it that sticks out quite a bit. Looks more like a generic bolt than the L/R one, no plastic casing. That too should be one of the adjustment bolts. Can't for the life of me remember if thats the up/down or R/L.

Sweet.
I pilled headlight out then i found a 2nd long silver bolt. I guess that would be the horizontal adjustment bolt. I will mess with that later tonight. I do know to "aim" thanks to daniel stern web site
