That is the manual control for your right headlignt. You have to remove the
protective cover to access it (if it has one).

The rubber cover just slips off and you turn the ****. It's also where you'll have to repair the gear someday when the headlight refuses to come up.

That's a cap?? I've ALWAYS simply turned that what is pictured... it has the flats around the outside to aid in grabbing it... It turns very easily but it takes a few to get the headlights up and back down.

I thought that IS THE **** you twist...

Are you sure you need to take a "cap" off?? Maybe I've only misunderstood?

Yes, take rubber cap off, it keeps dirt and water from gunking it up, then twist the **** to raise and lower headlight. I use it just to raise, then turn on then off the headlights to lower.

Do not turn on and off lights to lower after manually raising the headlights

It is not good for the motors and you can hear that when it happens. The tech told me if they are manually raised then they must be manually lowered
