simple

It turns out this is a very easy adjustment to make. For Litronic lamps all you need is a 5mm Allen wrench. Open your front trunk and unscrew the plastic knob on the side of the wall next to the lamp you wish to adjust. Peel back the wall and follow the diagram that Travis linked to us below.

While it is easy to adjust these lamps, it appears that aiming them correctly will take a lot of trial and error unless you have level ground with a wall you can mark.

These were not as hard to aim as I thought I they would be. In fact, now that I have them aimed ( I think ) properly, they are fairly amazing. The illumination of reflectors in the distance down the highway is remarkable. If I hadn't used them and seen for myself how good they are, if faced with the choice, I probably would not have paid extra for the option. However, now that I've experienced them, I think I would be unhappy to drive without them.

5mm allen wrench

I used a standard 5mm allen wrench, however the wrench I used was double-ended and I did have to use the long end because the short end would not reach. I recently bought a whole set of standard metric allen wrenches for $9 at a generic auto supply store.
