2016 Headlight Adjustment

[ColtX-5]

Anybody have instructions on headlight adjustment? Which one is up/down? Is one up/down and the other left/right? Or is there an up/down adjustment for each beam?

I suspected I had up/down and left/right, but couldn't tell fooling with them a little. My 2016 LED headlights have the adjusters in different places from the diagrams. The apparent up/down is at the top of the housing. I suspect the adjustment should be turned the opposite directions. Any confirmation?

OK. The vertical adjustment for 2016 LEDs is in the far outside corner of the headlights and is accessed with a phillips screwdriver through a small hole marked with a triangle. It is pretty sensitive and up is counterclockwise looking down on the screwdriver.

The horizontal adjustment is high near the center of the headlight. It is not very sensitive.

Horizontal adjustment is more difficult than my 2015 HIDs because the beam cutoff is not that sharp.
