No theres 2 10mm bolts, 1 for up and down *the one you can access* and the other one to adjust side to side. *you WILL have to take off your bumper and headlights then you can adjust it*

yeah the side to side is a bitch! you can do it with a wobbly and a long extension though without taking the headlights out, still a bitch though. The driver side is easier than the passenger.

Why do you need to adjust the side to side bolt anyways? Leave it how it came from the factory.. just change the height adjustment

Yeah I think the only reason I had to do mine was because I unfortunately "tweeked" it a while back with a benz. Didn't have issues before that.

The '99 has two adjusting screws on each lamp assy, marked L<-> R and U<->D. You adjust them with a Philips screwdriver.

(But yes, there is a 10MM bolt on the adjusters, as well, that is difficult to access)
