    You shouldn’t need to aim your lights down after a proper bulb change. Your lights with LEDs likely have significantly increased glare, making it unsafe for oncoming traffic. However aiming them down doesn’t really solve the issue and reduces your headlight distance projection leading to unsafe performance for you. Presumably you bought LEDs to increase performance. I’d highly recommend a halogen upgrade instead:

    But to answer your question, the adjuster is here on the back of the light:

    Yep, highly advised not to play with that one as it is a royal PITA to return to center.
