    oh i did the oppisite, i need mine higher but i keep setting them lower.

    there are long screws on the backs of your head lights. there should be one on both sides of the head lights. the looser you turn them the lower they get. capiche?

    Adjust anything you see around the headlight that CAN be adjust and watch if your head light goes up/down. Thats what I did at first when I have no clue how to adjust mine. Got it pretty good too.
