My leftmost headlight's beam in my 2012 is a little 'lower' than the right. Is there a simple adjustment to make somewhere to 'raise' the beam up a bit perhaps? Thanks.
Most modern headlamp assemblies have small plastic gears that you can manually turn in either direction to raise or lower the aim. Check your owner's manual.
Yes, @intermec , I do see that. Thank you! However, it's still like the left one ends up with the 'top' of its light output a little lower than the right one.
A headlight usually has two screws for mechanical adjustment. One screw controls the left-right adjustment. The other screw controls the up-down tilt. You need to find the second screw.
Ideally, you should find a shop that has a device like this for adjusting headlights. This will ensure the most accurate adjustment.
I think such a device should be available in shops that specialize in headlight modifications (installing lenses, etc.).
