aim or align C5 headlights

Can the headlight aim be adjusted on the C5? The low beam alignment is too low, I can almost use my high beams as low beams.

Blind like a bat.

There is a visual aiming procedure I can email you. Simply send a self-addressed email to me and I will oblige with the procedure in the response.

Easy to allign

Pop out the plug (inner side of the lights when raised) with a quarter (spin it after inserting it in the slot) and you will find two rods with reverse torx ends. One adjusts up/down and the other right/left. Use a socket that is tight or a torx socket the right size. Just like on a dual beam sealed beam both the lower and high beams adjust together so adjust to taste.

Will these help? Start with the part in the first pic that refers to the "Screen Method". Easiest for the DIYer, I think.
