I have noticed that my left headlight is 3-4 inches lower in projection then my right headlight. When looking from straight on the headlight also looks significantly less bright than the right headlight. I know that there is an automatic adjustment knob to the left of the steering wheel but it adjust both headlights at the same time not individually so the problem still remains. Is there a way to adjust the left headlight to match the right?

I found the same after I bought mine 12 years ago. It is designed that way so the left headlight does not easily blind the other driver towards you, and you can see a little further on the right side.

I just find it hard to believe there is no way to adjust the lights individually.

The diagram was very helpful and I found the adjusting screw, but for some reason it seems like the the adjustment screw just keeps turn with no resistance like it isn't screwing in to anything for it to tighten. Also there is no change in the light vertical or horizontal projection Anyone else had this problem or have any ideas.
