I was out playing with the headlight adjustment switch the other night. The headlights are angled too far down. However, the switch was at the highest setting (0), so the others only pulled the headlights further down. The "0" setting should be angled up much higher in my opinion. The upper settings are very low, and not even really usable. You can barely see anything in front of you. Does anyone know of a way to adjust this master setting, so that they are aimed higher?

They are aimed that way for DOT regulations. You can look up the regs and check how far out the brightest point hits, then measure. If they are out of spec have the dealer adjust them.

Just be careful what you do, if you blind someone at night, it causes an accident, your liable.

yeah man, what you do is get a very small screwdriver or pick tool, softly work the edges of the switch plate. You don't have to remove the harness, just slide the tool to pop it out

once it's out, just turn the switch 180 degrees (can be right or left, doesn't matter) then remount the switch

Just because of all the open highway with no lights out here I wanted to adjust mine up too. Then when driving inter-city set them to be about where they are now.

If they lights has 1 or 2 more clicks up it would be perfect for middle of the night desert driving.

also you can adjust them with a 5.5 metric socket the lights have a plastic nut that you can turn to make them go up or down the nut is orange in color

The HB flood more, and cause every road sign to light up like they are radiated. Being picky, I want another 5-10' of light for highway speeds in the dark, without the crazy flooding of the HBs

I know, first world problems and all.

Thanks for the tips boys. I wouldn't ask just to ratchet them up into people's eyes. It's just that it is literally difficult to see sometimes with the current settings. I pulled it side by side with a few friends' cars, and mine are definitely a lot lower angled. I need to get my TPMS sensors reset anyway, so I will have the dealership take a look. I have a feeling they may be out of whack... I can't see this being a factory setup. The 1 and 2 settings give me almost no forward visibility beyond 5 feet.
