One headlight aimed higher than other

Not really a problem, but an annoyance...

My drivers side headlight is aimed higher than the passenger side. I noticed it when I see the reflection of my light from cars in front of me or when I pull up to a place and see the reflection of the front of the car.

Is there an easy way to move the light to aim lower or is it best I take it in to the dealer?


Thanks!

odd. from the factory the left headlight should aim lower than the right side. to help from blinding on-coming traffic

there is a headlight adjustment screw.
not sure if its in the same place as the 3rd gen, but its a dial or a star spindle.
you take a screw driver and you spin it.

Make sure to look at the lights head on...in other words don't look at the way it's reflecting off the other car. My lights looked to be aimed weirdly when judging from the bumper of the car in front of me, but when I look at them head on they look normal.

If I remember it correctly that is actually the way it suppose to be. I think I saw that in the manual. I will go read it tomorrow and see if its correct.
