how to adjust headlights left to right

Hey all, I did a search and I found a few links on how to adjust your headlight up and down but I can't figure out how to adjust them left and right. Am I just blind and can't find that other screw? Do I have to take that top black cover off first? Any pics would be helpful, I figured out how to adjust them up and down but not side to side. I my passenger light points a bit to the right. Is it supposed to do that to read the signs or is it off line?

I didn't think that you could adjust it left and right... it would definitely be interesting to find out.

You can adjust it. I did mine...but don't plan on doing it unless you are ready to take your headlights off...which means you'll have to take off the bumper too. Oh...and it's covered by a plastic shield.

there is a crown near the fender that allows you to adjust them left and right. You can fit a philips in there and turn as the arrow indicate

Yes it is suppose to point a little to the right. It should hit about the white line on a normal road with it being adjusted vertically correct.

Agreed, it is extremly easy I adjusted both the up-down and the left-right in both headlights in 2-3 min. park facing a wall (small bricks make it really easy) and you can match each headlight perfectly.
