Default Express composite headlight adjustment.

On a 2011 with the composite headlights where the high and low bulbs are separate, I can adjust the headlights vertically with the top screw, but is there anything that adjusts them horizontally?

Also, as a non important side note, can the high beams be adjusted independently from the low beams within the composite housing?

Without looking, I doubt that they are adjustable in the way that you want, otherwise the adjustment would be obvious. They are formed to approved specifications and not meant for separate adjustment. At least I would think that that would be the case.

Yeah, I thought a separate adjustment within the housing is asking for a bit much, but every car I ever had to adjust the headlights on you could adjust it up and down as well as side to side... and I just don't see where is the side to side adjustment on my Express?

This style of headlights are only adjusted vertically. I got the same issue. More importantly my headlights need adjusting and I cannot find any alginment process for adjusting distance. How far should the adjustment be made from a reflective surface (30, 40 feet). How high off the ground at the required distance do I need to set the high beams. I have looked every where and I cannot locate the adjustment requirements. HELP
