Adjusting headlights.

I think that my beam pattern is irregular, the drivers side seems a bit to much towards the middle of the car. Anyone know how to adjust the headlights from left to right?

I know how to do the height, but I can't seem to find the left to right adjuster.

Do you know how to get to the height adjuster without ripping everything out

You don't need to take anything out to adjust it, it's exposed just above the headlight, to your right, for the drivers side, and your left on the passengers side (while facing the car.) All you need is a phillips screwdriver, and adjust away.

They are straight and the bulbs are straight as well. But they are too close together it seems. So the beam pattern is almost like this ^ instead of like this V.

I thought they should be like this | |

LOL. I do not think they should be like V I think more of | | With a very little cross far out.
