You may need to give the threads a quick blast of WD-40 or somesuch. The screws can get a little surface corrosion and/or dirt. Otherwise, you can bugger up the Philips heads. Ask me how I know.

Easy, very easy. You need a #1 Phillips screw driver and a level area with a blank wall to aim at....

Screwing in the top screw raises the beam, and screwing in the side screw....well, you get the idea... :-)

If you can reach the screws, that's all you need to do. Otherwise you can take the painted headlight cover off with its 4 screws. You don't need to remove the chrome bezel.

The procedure is actually spelled out in your owner's manual.

Here's a pretty simple Q .In adjusting the headlight beams does one need to dismantle any of the bezel /surrounding frame before turning the Phillips head adjusting screws? Also in which directions does turnining the screws clockwise move the beams? Just curious.
