I could never remember. I just used to play with them until I got the beams pointed properly. I used to park it about 10-15 feet from the garage door, ran a piece of masking tape horizontally alone the wall to make sure they were level and vertically on the wall along the centreline of each light and went from there. Remember, if you're going to adjust by lining the lights up with their centre, do it with the high beams. The low beams are meant to shine slightly to the right when on. If you adjust them centrally with the low beams on, the your high beams will shine up into the left corner of outer space.

Well I've been doing it with them on low ...lol...thanks for a reminder...

My driver light is brighter (visually) than the passenger because of the adjustment and I don't like it...

My hands are to big to get in there and I can't tell if I'm moving the light or not...

Anybody know which hex head adjust what?

Go back and re-read my first post. The answers are all there, including what screws go where & how to adjust them.
