    It's all in your cars manual somewhere.

    If you open your bonnet, there are 2 holes on top of each headlight to put a Phillips head screwdriver. 1 hole is for up and down, the other is for left and right.

    On mine those nuts also have Philips head indentations on them, so a choice of either screwdriver or ratchet/ socket to use.

    If you have aftermarket lights then the philips indentation is usually pretty useless. Just get a hex head driver.

    Park your car about 20meters from a wall on level ground (underground shopping center car parks are best)

    Adjust it like this

    The blue line should be about 5cm closer to the ground than your headlights are from the ground. The red lines should be the same distance apart that your headlights are.
