Just FYI, guys... Since it's a bit difficult and requires quite a few turns to move the beam any significant amount, I figured you'd want to know what direction to turn the screwdriver:
Roll it forward to raise the beam height - (Counter-clockwise on the passenger side, clockwise on the driver's side).
This information doesn't seem to be disclosed anywhere on the web but here in this post. Enjoy.

you do have a bubble, i'm sure even the original GS had a bubble (my 93 legend had a bubble too LOL). It's probably just dirty and foggy so you can't see it.
To figure out where you want your level, you can back up your car far enough so that you're simulating the distance between you and another car. From there you can adjust the beam pattern.

thank you!! what level should the bubble be at? any pictures?. I just want to make sure the level is correct and i'm not blinding anyone and I know I have done it right... because I don't want to keep going back forward.
any tips would be appreciated thanks once again!

Video not working
Can you please tell me where or how I can get the video to work. I would really appreciate the help. I need to adjust the headlights on my GS and don't want to blindly go at doing it. Thank you...

Hello kind folks!! Quick question; if I turn the adjustment using my philips screwdriver...will the bubble start moving towards the middle? Because as I'm turning the gear wheel (as mentioned in the video in the first post of this thread) ; I don't see the bubble moving at all.
This is my headlights projection...

Its been years since i've done this, but I believe I had the car/engine on. Also believe I was able to move the bubble to match its opposite side once happy with the angle. I don't think I tried to center the bubble, only used it as a reference along with tape on the garage door showing the beam pattern. I drove around the block several times at night while paying attention to the height of the beam in relations to fences and what not.

I didn't adjust mines but, you guys do know that the bubble only works on a leveled surface right? the leveler is only to show if things are flat hence if your car is on a hill it wont be in the middle so it might vary, try and find a level surface to do this on!

Somebody that had downloaded the tutorial video? You can also send it to roma607zkx@gmail.com.
I would appreciate it if someone could upload it here or forward it to me.
Thank you.
