Aiming headlights
Does anyone know where the screws are to aim the headlights? Mine point down to much right now. Would like to bring up the beam.

Check to see if NC has any regulations on headlights. Colorado does not and it's obvious who has re-aimed their lights. Oklahoma, where I grew up, does have headlight regulations. Aiming is checked at the yearly inspection and fines for blinding other drivers can be steep.
Anyway, on a 1st gen there are two and they're fairly obvious; can't say what it's like on a 2nd.

I think this quote is basically right for the later models. With mine, anyway. I had all kinds of issues with mine when it was new, they pointed too high and I was flashed constantly. Then when I was loaded down or towing it was like I was a highway menace. I found one (not three) really loooooong screw sticking out of the bottom inside corner of the headlights towards the engine with a small bit-shaped head on the end. I'm not exactly sure which corner of the light it's really on, but it is the only screw that I found. the bit-shape is narrower than the screw diameter. Find the small bit that fits it and use a socket wrench to adjust the beam height by tightening/loosening this screw. I'm not sure what does side to side, but this screw does the up and down. I actually paid $17 at the dealer to have them [over]adjusted before I found this screw myself.

Seriously though, this is how I know my OME 891's are sagging. my lights are casually aiming higher now then they were a month ago. I may be trading up for the downey springs soon since I heard better things and I'm not to impressed with the ome's sagging almost an inch. this is even after adding the TJM T15 up front! they should have actually aimed down more, not up more.
