There is an adjustment but I forget exactly where it is. And my car is out in the snowy driveway and it is really cold so I don't feel like going out there right now

Ha ha yea its cold out here too no snow thankfully. There is an adjustment just no screw, it has the threaded rod going through the bracket and locked by a black square peice that doesnt seem to rotate. The left right adjustment is normal with a screw. Trying to figure out the up down adjustment.

Oh check the end of that, I think where it sticks through is a hex end you can get a small socket or wrench on.

Ha ha thats it thanks, the lack of the adjustment screw was throwing me off. Your right a 4mm socket on the end of the threaded rod turns it and adjusts the up and down.. Thanks sparkyjjo

Sure thing. As soon as you said that it joggled my memory. Been a year since I put mine on so I couldn't quite remember.

One thing I did on my car - might not be necessary on yours but my bumper sags a bit from some previous damage that I haven't fixed - there is a screw that attaches the black plastic bracket to the housing itself on the bottom of the light. I loosened it a little bit (about 1/8") to push the bottom of the light outward and help fill the gap between the bumper and the headlight. Again, might not be needed on yours and I haven't heard anyone else do this, but since my bumper sags it has more of a gap to begin with.
