You really can't get to it? I need to readjust mines tomorrow. I'll see if I can take a better picture or readjust it for you.

Jc,

I adjusted it today but there is no room for pictures at all. It's really quite easy.. you just need the proper tool. A prefer a 10mm driver.

I couldn't reach it with a socket wrench and extension.

Now, just check the first post for the diagram. You can see it clearly on the passenger side, but it's a bit more hidden away on the driver side because of all the other wires there. Another trick is that there is a slot on the headlight at the top that if you shine a light down, you can see the screw.

My gts had a 10mm bolt under a gray bracket that if you turn that it will raise the beam. it might be different than the 08 model but thats how i did mine..

Can you take a picture of the 10mm bolt that you adjusted, I want to adjust mine tonight.  Thanks much!

Is this a must when installing HID's? I'm about to install mine and i would like to know so that i can take care of this right there n then.

How can i adjust my high beams to point more outword. they seem to be right in the middle of the lane. they help a lot but i use them so i dont hit deer and such not to see the middle of my lane.

I cant find the 10mm bolt, is this guide meant for manufacturer installed projectors too?  Maybe I'm missing something here.

Just install them as normal, and point them at a wall when finished and see if one is pointed higher than the other, if not then your golden. Just make sure that their not pointed up too high. Your able to tell when your driving, everything seems to light up at night,

I think this only applies for non projector headlights.

Howdoes the adjusting work? by turning the screw does it adjust the housing or the bulb???
