Default Instructions for adjusting headlights?

Hi,

My driver side headlight on my S2k is pointing a little lower then it used to. The notch in the pattern is off a few degrees on the driver side. Does anyone have the instructions or can tell me what I need to do to adjust the aim of the headlight up a few degrees? I think there is a screw I turn clockwise to adjust it? Where is it located?

Thanks in advance!

This is from memory, so someone else needs to fill in the blanks.

There is a gray gear in the back of the light housing. It is between the HID bulb and the H1 high beam bulb. Use a philips (star) driver. CW = up; CCW=down. There is a small circular hole in the frame that the driver slips through. You have to temporarily remove the windshield fluid reseviour, for the driver's side.

Park the car on a flat surface. 25 feet from a wall. Measure the height to the ground from the little circle on the front of the light housing. Mark a temporary line on the wall that is 2 inches lower than height of the light. The upper line of the white part of both HIDs should be at the line.

Hey dude,

They offset headlights on all the S2000's so you don't blind oncoming traffic. It was manufactured that way. However, I leveled mine. Let everyone else be blinded by my Xenon's!!!
