How to adjust Cavalier headlights?
I just installed new aftermarket headlights in my '05 to replace old, clouded lenses. Great improvement!! But, I can't figure out how to aim them, either for height or side-to-side. I see a single allen-head fixture on the top side of each lamp, but do not see how it would control either direction. Plus, the solid mounting of the lamp unit seems to prevent any side-to-side adjustment. Obviously, I'm too dumb to figure it out, so any advice will be much appreciated!

Thanks for the links. Actually I had seen that, but it seems to apply to other Cavaliers?--talks about a 'side adjuster' in addition to the top one and 'cross-head' screws, none of which mine has. Anyway, I found that the single top adjuster does both elevation and side-to-side movements and I'm all fixed up. I appreciate the help!
