Default How to adjust the angle of my headlight?

Hi all,
I found that my two highlights are not in same brightness. I am sure the light bulbs are the same. I guess its about the angle. Anyone know how to adjust the angle? the indicator shows that both headlights are not in the "acceptable range" as shown in the manual.
thanks!!

I have the same issue, plus mine are pointing all the way down to. I wish someone in here would just help us both out. lol. If not I guess I'll take it straight to the dealership.

Since no one is being nice I am just taking a guess here:

1. park on a flat level surface and park close to a wall where you can see the low beam "line"
2. When you pop your hood, there should be a "leveler" like green tube(small in size) the ones that contractors use. (sorry thats the best way I can describe it"
3. Now, on my 94 Supra, there was a "phillips" screw head (pretty big in size) when you look down towards the headlights, you should see it.
4. Now you can either turn it counter clock wise, or clock wise (raise it up and lower it).

Thats it, its easy as ****..

Read the last page. Those are the screws you need to adjust.... if you want to just adjust the up down then its the first circle in post 50 to adjust left to right its the 3rd pic. turn left to lower the aim and turn right to raise
