Talking 05 Non HID Low Beam Adjsutment Procedure.

Before you all go and tell me to SEARCH a million times, riddle me this. How come I read that turning the nut will do the trick and the next guy says that will adjust the high beam NOT the low beam. My high beams are Fine. Here are my two questions (remember my car does not have hid's or fogs).
1. Can the low beams be adjusted seperately from the high beams?
2. Does anyone have pics of the seperate locations for the adjustment?
3. Can you only adjust both together using the 10mm ratchet method or lg phillips method?

Thank you drive through....

that is a good question. I need to adjust my HID's they are a little low. Once I lowered my car the lights needed to be adjusted

Well read this post. Apparently the adjustments are the same for HID and non HIDS lights

Also see below if you're too lazy to read as you were to search....
The high beams are adjusted by the 10mm bolt which has a plastic gear attached to it. If the gear gets stripped (which is very easy to do) you have to unscrew the plastic gear of the bolt and then manually rotate it to desired height.

Very funny...I read for an hour only to get conflicting info. The truth is there is a cable that does link the two gear assemblies together, so the only way to truly get individual adjustment is by disabling the cable as it attaches to the gears. When I pull the headlight assemblies out to change my bulbs (for the third time) I will disect the situation. The lack of independant adjustment is no good....more later. Thanks Gents
