Headlight Adjustment - Low Beams

Has anyone succesfully raised their low beams?

I have an '03 EVO that's been lowered and the low beams are not level what so ever, which is a huge safety issue when traveling at high speeds at night.

How do you raise the low beams manually, the electronic height adjustment located in the cabin only lowers the beams more, is there any way to raise them?

I haven't seen a legitamite answer anywhere on this topic, if someone honestly knows how to fix this it'll be a huge benefit to many of us with poor visibility at night.

Thanx,

Phillips screwdriver in the appropriate gear hole on the back of the housing. If you don't like the idea of a screwdriver, you can pop off the translucent ( kind of clear ) plastic bolt covers. This will gain you access to the 10mm bolt connected to the same gear the phillips turns. I hope this helps.

That thread is pointless, I read it last night and does not provide a solution...

This is a diagram of the back of the headlight, I'm still confused how you raise the low beams correctly.

face your evo to a wall, shine your headlights, take a 10mm socket wrench, turn the high beam gear adjustment knob carefully until the light is to the level you want.
turning the high beam knob will also level the low beams, as stated on the pictures above.
BUT before you go crazy turning that knob... read the green text...
the auto leveler will reset your adjustments unless you turn off the headlights, adjust and then turn them on to see if the adjustment you are doing is working.

if that still confuses you..
