well crap, I thought that was up and down also! I moved those like 2 full rotations also. Damn, gonna need to find a really dark area with a wall and do some more adjusting.

Yeah, the manual is entirely unclear about that, which is kind of annoying lol. It just tells you to turn it the same number of turns as the one towards the centerline of the headlight, but I was able to confirm by making markings on my garage wall and then turning the screw that it is indeed the left and right adjustment.

My 12" long philips bit arrived today so I can adjust those lights easier. I was using a skinny little flathead pushing the gear, was a pain in the butt.

I think I will just go back in and lower then maybe half a revolution. Should be good until I can spend some time at night working on them this weekend.

If I get the lights sorted and the tires/brakes upgraded all my major annoyances will be solved with this car. Then maybe I won't buy a C8 lol. It's only $65 more a month!

I had to adjust mine upward with a 12” Phillips. Once adjusted they are very good. Factory setting is so low it makes it extremely hard to see at night. I’d imagine it’s due to the car sitting so low that moving upward is angling up in the line of sight and possibly blinding for oncoming traffic. I haven’t been flashed yet.
