Default Adjusting headlights

Can the headlights be adjusted? Mine need aimed a little higher. The manual says to let Honda do it.

PM me your email, I'll see if I can find the page in the service manual. There should be two little pry off covers with adjustment screws behind them.

Me and at least one other person are still hoping someone knows how to adjust the headlights. Thanks.

The proceedure is the same either way.

Okay, there is a horizontal and verticle adjuster behind each headlight.
It's hard to translate the picture in the manual into text though.

I scanned it, so if you want I can email it to you.

Default clockwise or?

If you turn the elevation screws clockwise,does the headlight beam move up,or down?...Manual does not say...though my Kawasaki manual does!...It's too cold to adjust them at night here.....Thanks,Bob

edit......it is maked on the headlight housing itself....duh!
