i want to aim the lowbeams up just a bit so the light can shine a bit farther. i can't seem to find where to adjust them. the manual says to take it to the dealer but i want to do it myself if possible. anyone have any luck or tried? it's for an 09 GT btw =/

actually i was looking around and the only thing i found that sort of resembles that adjustment screw thing is this...that thing is behind the low beam area so i'm thinking it's used to adjust the light...i'll give that a try later tonight...that's the only thing that i can find where i can stick a screw driver and it has something like L R on it too.

That screw is the vertical adjustment screw for the headlamps. Just turn the screw while facing a flat wall. I forget which way raises the lights, but it is fairly easy with a thin, long philips screwdriver.

Thanks. I was wondering how to do the adjustment. The beams just seem a bit low to me.
