For the 04/05 low beams (what I'm assuming you're looking at), if you stand in front of the headlight and look straight down at the low beam socket area, just below it is a small (10mm?) bolt head. It's in a socket with the top side cut away, and you can see a sort of toothed wheel in there. That's your vertical beam adjustment. Pop a long phillips head screwdriver in there and crank it around.

In the service manual, it should be around pp. 22-78, I think. Mine's for the 02/03, though, so the pages might vary slightly for the later model years.

Yeah, same idea for the 02/03 as the 04/05, just gotta find the nut/gear on the back, and start turning to see which way it goes. :mbiggrin:
Quick note: don't go cranking those things a whole lot right off the bat. IF you don't have a nice level spot that's big enough for you to adjust the way the manual says, just do small adjustments, a little bit at a time, to figure out how much you're altering the levels. A little adjustment goes a loooong way, ya know?

It's the metalic gear covered by something white. Use a long phillips to turn the gear. Good luck adjusting it. Took me 3 weeks to finally be happy with the level.
