Default Headlight Adjustment - I can't find screw!

I've looked at all the threads about HeadLight Adjustment for the Vertical, I even looked at the PDF file. The picture in the PDF is not clear as too where the screw is.. it kinda points to my front bumper...
I also read about it being just to the right ontop by the fender...

I look and LOOOoooOOk, but can't find this stupid screw adjuster...

Can any point out or give a picture showing a dumb @ss like me... its some time the simple things in life that elude me...lol..

Thanks

ITs right there -- its a plastic cap you pull off and you stick your adjustment tool in there.

I just found the PDF and sure enough, the screw is located behind the headlight... I have the image from the PDF and will be putting the image here.

It's not so much a screw as a gear head that has 2 plastic wings on either side. a phillips head long screw driver fits easily between the plastic tabs which aligns the screw driver and the phillips will then turn the screw/gear head. Did that confuse you more? Just know that I was looking for a screw on mine and it was not what I expected. And no, there is no cap on it.

Send beer, mine has a cap as shown with the yellow box around it, you can flip up the little door on top (yellow arrow), insert phillips and adjust, or you can remove the whole cap and use an 8mm socket or wrench.

See pics and don't forget to send that beer.

The PDF file I posted DOES point out the location of the hole to insert the screw driver though. Maybe you could use a new pair of bifocals? No offense intended though..

Guys,

There are 2 adjustment screws on each headlight. One is for vertical aiming and the other is for horizontal. The one shown in the pdf is the vertical adjuster, although the diagram is a bit confusing. It is located at the bottom rear of the headlight assembly.

The screw that mxsjw is showing with the cap on it is for horizontal adjustment. You usually don't have to adjust this setting.

Here is the vertical adjuster... you just use a long phillips screwdriver to adjust it. There is a groove that guides the screwdriver down the the adjuster screw.

No cap on mine. If you use the worm gear type set up that they developed just remember that the way you turn the screw driver is the exact opposite of what you would think, as the worm drive turms the main screw clockwise to raise the headlight, so you must turn your screw driver counterclockwise. If you go the direct route and get a small socket on the main screw then it is clockwise to raise.

Use an 8mm socket with a round spinner rachet or a stubby phillips screwdriver. Both will work.

Default Re: Headlight Adjustment - I can't find screw!

If I read the PDF file correctly it syas to adjust you must turn the vertical AND horizontal screw at a 5:4 ratio for adjustment. Since I put a leveling kit on I seem to be blinding folks and wanted to adjust my headlights. Those that have performed an adjustment, did you adjust both screws at the 5:4 ratio?
