Headlight Adjustment
It seems like my low beam lights are pointed low as compared to my other vehicles.
Do you find this with your vehicles?
Is there an easy way to adjust?

me too...was wondering the same. And found this from a search:
Look around page 237 of the manual. There are 2 adjustment screws for the main beams. The access cover for the vertical adjustment is labeled B. The unlabeled one above it is the lateral adjustment.
I found the easiest way to make the adjustments is to pop the whole headlight assembly out and then you can make the adjustments using a regular philips head screwdriver. You can pop the headlight out using the special hex tool in the hole covered by the round rubber bung with the small **** handle.
Try to keep track of how much you turn the screws so you can reverse the change if necessary. In my manual there is a misprint, it should be "turn clockwise = move beam up" and "turn counterclockwise = move beam down".
Have to be careful raising the driver side beams (especially if you have xenons) to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.

Anyone know where I can buy a headlight adjustment tool? My car is missing that part from the tool kit.
