Default Can you adjust a individual headlight?

My drivers side bulb does not travel down the road far enough, it's bright but points down too much. The passenger side is fine. Is there a way to adjust the driver's side?

This is a simple fix, and this thread also reminded me that I needed to do the same. There is a green plastic adjuster crew right behind your headlight.



Using a 6mm allen key/hex socket turn it clockwise for up, counter-clockwise for down. Yours may look a little different than the picture, I have the 5.0SC engine which has air boxes on both sides, but still should be easy enough to find. If you can, do it with the headlights on and shining on a flat vertical surface in as little daylight as possible. Makes it easy to see how much you are adjusting the lights.

There are two adjustments. The one in the photo is for left-to-right adjustment. Up and down are further toward the center of the headlight. I had to adjust both of mine a couple weeks ago

Thanks again, it's even easier to adjust on the tdi, there's no box in the way and it is 6mm, like you said.

I wasn't aware there was a L-R adjuster screw.. The one I circled in my picture definitely is up-down though.
