Very....Carefully. Seriously though I can't say. Oh, check the arms that rotate with the headlight motor, ya know its spins around and pushes that rod up to pop open the lights. On mine I found that one of the rods was ...nevermind, I gotta take pics cause it's too complicated to type..

Bump, for now I reckon..mm hmm.

Put your lights down!

SeriouslyTurn the nobs on the light level controller(motor) till they are leveled/balanced.The light level controller is located, right next to light bracket(or on the light bracket actually). The nob itself is covered by a rubber gromet stock, so take the gromet off and get too it.

The controller looks like a cylinder in case you didnt know

It looks like you decided to get dozy using the brown wire method right? That usually leads the the lights not being perfectly balanced.

Yeah I used the brown wire method. So basically I just pop the hood, find this controller, and level them out. Should they be up or down when I do this?

I found what I think might be the adjustment thing. It wasn't covered by a rubber grommet, but a plastic one.

Yeah, that cover on top of the knob is plastic, but from my experience when you put the lights back down and pop'em up again they won't go back to the same spot you set it on, thus you'd have to adjust them every time. Maybe mine were just weird

Mine are the exact same way. Hopefully someone will find out a way to make them stay every time. I'll take pics of it tomorrow since it's too dark out right now.
