Default 2012 Headlight Adjustment Screw?!

Where is the damn screw?? I've looked in the manual and the diagram does not help! I have done countless searching on the forums and internet as well! I am a little frustrated. Can someone help point me in the right direction with maybe an actual PHOTO or video of the screw I am suppose to be turning to adjust the headlights?? Thank you in advance and I am sorry for my frustrated rant!

I don't have a picture handy, but open your hood and look right at the very top flat area of your headlight. You should see an open area about the size of a quarter near the inside edge (toward the middle of the truck) of each. Take a flashlight and look straight down in there with it. You will see a pale nearly white area little bigger than a dime about an inch and a half down. At the center of that is the screw you need to turn to raise and lower the lights.
Your owner's manual should confirm this, but I beleive it is counter clockwise to lower and the opposite to raise.

It's a pain in the *** to adjust. I had to angle the screwdriver to get the threads to move. Holding it straight didn't do a damn thing. Good luck!
