Just did this on my garage wall. Pic helped a lot! Thanks!

I used a pretty large screwdriver, inserted into teeth of adjustment gear and twisted one tooth at a time. Pulled out screwdriver, re-inserted, and twisted again, etc until I got 1 level higher.

Also made my passenger side light a little higher than what it was to give me a little more distance on the right road edge.

Can't wait til the evening so I can test 'em out

Forget about 2 levels higher. Can you make it go to 11?

hahaha...i think i will do the 2 level method, but using 1 instead of 2, so zero will still be my default highest.

Plastic covers?? That's not where you adjust the headlights!

The adjustments for the headlights are actually more behind the fog lights. Looks like a double-sided geared wheel. They kinda have a plastic form around them that looks like a screwdriver is meant to go down in there and adjust them.

Are the gears exposed or do I have to uncover something? I can't seem to find it...

They are exposed, yes. You'll probably need a flashlight to find them. They are right behind the headlights, not really near the fender. The picture posted in this thread will give you a good idea of what to look for.

*edit -grammatical
