That's the one......

It's a #15 torx on a long stem. I found that it wobbled too much and used a 1/4 socket instead. You will have to turn it a bit to see the light move.... I did it with the light shining on my garage door and "ball parked" them in, to get the same height, but then I drove the car to actually fine tune the adjustment. I also replaced and adjusted the fog lights to help "flood" in the low beam's lights, I used 50W 885's.

I suggest that if you want better light, you should invest in Sylvania "Silver Star" lights..... 9005 and 9006..... I did and they work great.
