Default How do I set my low/high beams?

I fail to find anything on this topic by searching.
- Any pointers?

Both mine were pointing to the ground and I adjusted them some, but I'm sure that there is a procedure to follow.

Thanks,
Nimo

That is a great link - Thanks.

Anyone know what the adjustment screws do?
- Up/down is controlled by one, but the other deos not seem to adjust anything?

Thanks,
Nimo

Nimo,
The lower one (I think) is the vertical and the upper one is the horizontal.

Be careful when turning the screws/nuts for aiming. A lot of members cracked the plastic parts inside. Maybe you first try to put some WD40 on the area where the nut sits.
