    The headlight seems to be pointing a bit down for my liking so I want to raise it up a bit but cannot locate the vertical knob/dial/screw, does this car have one? I found the left and right one though. Anyone know?

    I've attached pictures of the actual car as I know the one in Australia is slightly different to the one in states and Asia.

    Many thanks guys.
    The one I circled is the right left screw I believe.

    As always, read your owner's manual. You'd be surprised at how much information you can find in it. ;)

    Nothing in the owners manual mentions aiming headlight. I've checked. It was the first place I went to

    I found it actually, in the photos above. It's that white hex screw right next to the water washer bottle

    Are you sure? That looks like a regular mounting tab.

    There isn't a regular hex bolt, with a serrated ring next to it at the back of the headlight housing, the silver hex head near the center of the picture of my passenger (right) side headlight:

    Took this picture from the front, with my phone pointing downward, back to front.
    The bolt is between the lowbeam and the highbeam connectors at the bottom of the housing. Turn clockwise to lower beam, counterclockwise to raise the beam.

    It definitely is. I gave it a go and the lights definitely moved up n down
