Does anyone know how to make a vertical adjustment / alignment on the headlights? Each light has a large plastic post on the back, but these appear to be for horizontal adjustment, and I'm darned if I can find anything that looks like the equivalent for vertical adjustment.
BTW this is a North American model. I understand some other models might have dashboard buttons for adjustment, but this one doesn't.
For a 2002 9-5:
As you face the head light, there are two access holes - as you lift the hood - to two Metric Allen set screws on top of the plastic housing of the headlight.
The right hole and set screw is for the vertical adjustment, the one on the left is for the horizontal adjustment
Yes. There is a female hex bolt (aka allen) down further that you must reach through a hole cut in the sheet metal above the headlight. I use a long 3/8" socket extension and a 3/8" drive hex bit.
