Question headlight adjusting

Can someone please provide the procedure for adjusting the headlights on my 2006 roadster; the low beams are near useless.
Thanks

The thread did not show/say where exactly the vertical low-beams adjustments were? Whereas the wife loves the car, I'm going to buy a set of OEM service manuals and do a write-up with photos on how-to.

Most often the solution is to put the bulbs in correctly. In order for the bulbs to be situated in the position that gives the best and legally correct lighting, the bulb has to fit into a closely fitting pocket. If the pocket was to large then the bulbs would not be aimed correctly many times.

The tab on the bulb faces down on the low beams and up on the high beams. With the spring retainer in place the bulb can often be turned so it snaps into the correct position. Do not remove the spring, that opens another can of worms.

Adjusting the units using the white capped screws is not recommended if the bulbs are not set into the correct position. Often the bulb is correctly put in but moves out of position while the spring is being latched, ask me how I know.
