Hey guys I have a 2005 Q and I can't find any info on how to adjust the aim on my headlights... I downloaded the entire service manual and have combed through as best I can.. I think the "gear" toothed circular piece behind the high beam lights may have something to do with it.. Not sure.. anyone know how to get these headlights up? Mine does not have the interior switch that is adjustable lights.. I would appreciate any info, thanks, Nick

The adjusting screws are likely "frenched" into the plastic housing. There should be one on each axis - a mirror and a flashlight may help.

Gave Infiniti a call this afternoon about how to aim the headlights up or down.. found out on the front of the lamp unit on the right side just above where the bumper stops there's a strange hole the a Phillips screwdriver can be inserted and turned.. or they offered to do it for 130$! Crazy... Never seen adjuster on the front.. it pretty much hidden unless you know it's there..

yupper - Infiniti gets the cheese on everything - $130.00 is steep - I aimed mine with using the garage door last time - good luck

My '03 Q45 has the aim switch on the dashboard. Must be because it's a Premium edition.
