Default How to adjust the low beams?

Does anyone know which direction (clockwise or counter clockwise) while using a screwdriver to adjust the low beam lights. I don’t think the owners manual explains this topic very well. I attempted to experiment with one direction and then the other but even after many rotations I was unable to see a change in the light angle.

Another interesting thing I notice was that the low beam lights almost completely overlap. This means that even though I cover up one light completely, the full beam pattern on the road stays almost the same (except a bit dimmer). Anyone know what I'm talking about? This is another characteristic that makes the lights difficult to adjust.

I discovered this one night when I was trying to raise my left low beam. I realize that the left low beam should be slightly lower.

Oh, man, I know what your sayin' brotha.
The two things I have a problem with is the site line behind the car through the huge wing and the SHITTY low beam coverage of the lights. I was going to get fogs, but first tried the same thing you're talking about.
There is a level on each of the lights(there may even be a directional arrow to show which way to turn). Anyway, turn one way and watch the bubble. I turned mine up and out and got little/ no response as far as being able to see at night. I just leave my brights on until I really HAVE to dim down.

Like I said, I think fogs are the best option.

Now....If I could just get a clear wing to see through....

Josh- Are HIDs still not giving you enough light coverage??? Your input would help all those waiting ot purchase the HID kit.

Like I said before, the HID's are very impressive. I'm just interested in aiming the low beams higher.

there is a bubble-level and a linemark indicator for each light assembly, use this to determine if you're raising or lowering, and moving left or right.
