good luck getting to the screws on the back that you have to turn to adjust! even then you have to have a perfectly level ground, proper distance and the specs for the aim and cutoff. The deal charges $30 around here to do it..

The wall method at 25 feet should work.

Hell, I woulda told you how to get the code for $20.

Lay down under the steering wheel by the pedals and look up. Turn the box if you can't see it. Haha.

$20 please.

What tackle said, a little research would have saved you $30. I didn't know mine when I bought my screw, 10 min of search time and pow there it was.

Should've asked on here. I knew it too and would've been happy to help. Crazy they charge $30 to use a flashlight and just look under the dash
