Tools you will need are:

A 6 mm Allen key ideally a screw driver handled one, because it's a bit tight in there:

Method

All you need do is turn the headlamp adjustment bolt that's on each side of engine bay just behind the full headlamp cover.

LEFT SIDE

RIGHT SIDE

Its even marked to show you which way is up and down. 5 mins job to do, makes 200-300% improvement.

I started by marking a line on the wall where my lights were then adjusted then 0.5 turn, then took quick test ride to check height of lights, then went back and adjusted then a bit more, until I was happy with the height of the lights. But don't get then too high, so you don't annoy people you're following or meeting. If done right you should not get anyone flashing you, but should have greatly improved lights and use full beam a lot less.

(quick draft copy if someone wants to edit this for good spelling and grammar go ahead

pic to follow later not easiest to show at 5am

)
Has anyone looked at the front of there car and thought how crap the side lights look ? might be just people with hid or just me, nice blue/white lights of HID'S but crap yellow sidelights. so Ive changed my sidelights for some nice blue led sidelights looks lot better. Then when full beam bulbs fail ill put my ice whites in

then will look sweet all whitish blue.
