Default How to adjust the head lights?

My headlights seem a bit too low. One side is lower than the other, but both are low.
I'm looking for info on how to raise them up a bit.
Is that info in the manual? I didn't seem to find it. What page?

Νοthing on the Greek version of the manual also...
Yet, on each headlight body you will notice two small holes with arrows "printed" on them. Using a long straight-nose screwdriver you can adjust them lights horizontally and vertically from these two holes.

Do a forum search - there's directions with a pictorial.

Hi guys

1st post. Love the car (2009 Insight) to bits.I also think the low beam is a little low and also feel the lights could be more efficient. The bulb types chosen ( HB3 and H11) are not common in the UK and Phillips don't do many upgrades yet. I cannot find the 2 holes mentioned. Am I being dim?

I don't know about the holes and arrows thing.

You can either look on the Modifications and Technical forum for a post titled HUGE difference with slight adjustment to headlights or you can get an 8mm nut driver and look on the back side of the assembly for a silver colored adjustment bolt.

I did both. LOL
