adjusting the level of the headlight housing???

hey guys i looked in the car manual on how to adjust the headlight housing but its so vague... it tell me to stick a screwdriver in the outer hole of the housing and twist to adjust... the hole isn't completely down... how is a straight screwdriver supposed to go all the way in... any help???

There is one hole and another "adjustment" area".

The hole is to adjust vertical (up/down) and the other adjustment area (directly behind the headlight, it has a knob) is for horizontal (left and right).

I tried raising my headlights but it doesnt work. I'd turn and turn with no results. Oh well.

KaMLuNg it sounds like you found the right hole but your screwdriver isn't long enough. You need a really long one. Hahaha. This sounds funny.

Ken, it sounds like your adjusting the fog lights. The hole to adjust the headlight is towards the parking light and it's down towards the bottom of the headlight. You need a long screwdriver to get to it.

Let me know if you ever need help with anything. I know the car inside out except for the motor. I didn't mess with the car mechanically at all.
