  8. Adjust the headlights by turning the adjusting screws as shown in the illustration. Loosen the screws first, then tighten them.
NOTE:
  • If the adjusting screws are tightened first, then loosened, they will continue to loosen when the vehicle is in motion and may cause the headlights to become misaligned.
