So I found another thread on the headlight adjustments -

On the first gear (closest the front of the car) To adjust the headlight downward, turn the adjusting screw clockwise. To adjust the headlight upward, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.

2nd gear (according to CJITTY-far back corner) I cannot find anything related to which direction to turn to adjust - I am assuming you would adjust it the same as the first gear. (as mention above - change both gears with the same rotation location)

Hope this makes sense... Thanks CJITTY and randomwalk posting

second screw headlight adjustment

Now, the issue is you have to turn the 2nd gear the same way, it is in the far back corner and I recall it being a PITA to adjust..I think there are two screws for adjustment because of the AFS

Working on the drivers side I cant seem to find a similiar plug for the second adjustment.

I pulled all the covers and looked hard for the adjustment screw towards the front of the car that's supposed to adjust the light up but can't find it. Has anyone with a 13+ LS found the screw? If so I'd really appreciate the location.
