use a torx socket, not a torx bit (you can use both).

find the right size and turn the golden rod that is underneath the light housing clockwise to raise, counter to lower.

Be careful, these adjusters strip easy. If you strip it you have to buy a headlight assembly or get lucky finding parts.

If it does not move easily, you'll have to dis-assemble and spray some lubricant on the adjuster connections. Work it slowly or you may strip it like I did, even though I lubed it.
