Default Headlights
So Im parking my GS this morning and I noticed that my headlights arent leveled. Seems like the driver side is a lower. I need to raise it up a little. Which way do I turn the screwdriver to do so?

I wouldn't use the back on a car for reference to be honest.

Go to a wall and shine your headlights on them- and see what your cut off looks like.

it's fine. passenger side headlight is made so U can read signs. While driver headlight don't want to blind the driver in front more.

like worker said, passenger side is supposed to be higher by spec! this is to avoid glare from the driver side

Dealer's tech sometimes are just as stupid as regular ppl.

Here's a Wiki and look under "Regulations and requirements"

it is supposed to be lower on the driver side, but yours seems excessive. also, when adjusting make sure you are on level ground and use a wall as refrence.

use this to make low beam adjustments
