Quick question about adjusting the headlights on a 3rd Gen Integra.
Horizontal Adjustment (on top): adjusting Clockwise/counter clockwise = aiming the headlight right or left?
Vertical Adjustment (on side): Clockwise = up or down?
Doesnt say in the owners manual which direction does what. And Ive tried the trial and error method but it adjusts so slowly I cant tell which direction its moving, if at all, and I dont want to adjust it too much.

On my 93 Civic, the one closest to the radiator is horizontal and furthest outboard is vertical...not sure if that helps. I spent like a goddamned hour adjusting my headlight, then I realized the bulb wasn't clipped in properly heh...might wanna check that

hah yeah i checked that. I spent about an hour adjusting them like crazy b/c one was really off. I had it pointed against my garage but I wouldnt see the lights move so I would adjust it alot.. then go test it and it would WAY too adjusted heh.. So Id like to just make minor corrections but I forget which way I had to turn the screw driver. And the plastic gear adjuster on the headlight assembly is beginning to strip
so Id like to minimize my adjustments.
I figured someone would have a quick answer to this?
