    Looking at some videos it looks like it might even be possible to make the adjustment vertically with a Phillips screwdriver. Will give it all a shot and follow up once I can see if it works.

    You can pull in a parking deck on a sunny day it'll be dark enough in there and usually the wall of the parking deck is just a little taller than you want to set the cut off of your headlights .

    Ok awesome, thanks, that's a great tip! More soon hopefully...verified this morning that it will definitely be doable to adjust the dial with a phillips...I just didn't realize that initially and was trying to mickey mouse the flex extension in there for no reason haha! Will post once I get a chance to make the adjustments, hopefully it will make a difference.

    On the halogens it's easier for me to use an 8 mm socket on an extension and the ratchet on his maybe not.
