Anyway, I just wanted to report that I adjusted my headlight alignment upwards and it's now perfect!

I have the AFS and HID and auto-leveling and everything else... The full package... It doesn't make a difference... You still just take a large size philips head screwdriver and make the mechanical adjustment...

For the record, I adjusted mine approx 70 teeth turns on the left lamp, and 60 teeth turns for the right lamp... This was about 2-3 full turns of the adjustment wheel... (The left light was slightly lower than the right light from the factory)...

Anyway, everything is perfect now, lights are properly aligned, and they are definitely not too high... In fact, I could raise them more if I wanted and still not bother oncoming traffic, but they are good in the proper alignment position...

Total time to do this: 20 minutes (5 minutes to remove the engine covers, 5 minutes per headlight turning very slowly and carefully counting the number of turns, 5 minutes to put the engine covers back on)
pls where can i find the adjuster
