There are several good threads about this topic. I recommend you run a search on headlight adjustment, there should be plenty of info there for you.
Cheers.

Re: Headlight adjustment

Yeah, one of the threads from the early days walks you right through it. The thread I'm thinking of has pictures too. With a long Phillips head screwdriver it only takes a couple of minutes to do both headlights.

Re: Headlight adjustment

Oh well, if they dont like my dim lights they certainly dont like my brights!

Re: Headlight adjustment

Go buy the long screwdriver, that's the key to it.

Re: Headlight adjustment

I don't have a lift but was getting flashed every single time I drove at night. I adjusted the headlights down 10 teeth (on the rotating wheel) and I haven't been flashed once since then and that was many months ago.

I too was only driving with the parking lights and the DRL's on at night but you don't have the high beam/flash ability without the headlight switch set to on.
