Adjust headlight height?

I remember on my TSX I could use a Phillips screw driver to adjust the height of my low beams. I was wondering if there's a way to raise the RL's low beams during highway driving it seems to cutoff closer than I would like... Also is it just me or are the headlights not as bright as the TSX or S2000?

Yes you can adjust it as you describe. Search for a thread on this. There were reports of people adjusting it upwards too much, and had to replace the entire headlight unit at hundreds or thousands. I think they stripped the mechanism or something. It was back in 2006 maybe???

The plastic cover next to the fenders show a hole with a rotation up/down. Use a flashlight to locate an orifice that a #3 philips will fit into but it is not a philips screw. It is about 3 or 4 inches down the hole and you will need a long screwdriver. It takes many turns to move the lamp so I typically park 10 feet back from the garage door and move the light beam and then test it by driving at night. 1 inch up on the garage door is a long way different up the road so go in small increments so that you do not run the thread out. The thread dissengaging is the $$$$'s part.
