for the life of me i cant seem to find the vertical adjustment screw for 2007 hatchback headlight to aim it left and right. does it have one..the screw to adjust it up and down is right there but how do we adjust sideways???

i meant horizontal aiming..going left and right..

giant plastic thing?.. hmm let me post a photo if i can find one..

i think its horizontal aiming going left and right is what im looking for..

i see something on the manual ..is it possible we dont have left and right aiming? let me check.

I've never had need to adjust the lights so I'm not sure about horizontal either. IIRC, this adjustment can be done, but the headlight needs to be removed from the car.

I'm wondering if this is it shown in this pic I just took. This is looking at the passenger side light from across the engine bay.

hmmmm i dont remember seing that one.. ill check later...thanks man..i may need to take it off just didnt want to do it and finds out there is no adjustment...just switch to hid and for some reason the left side is aimed more of the left rather than straight..

little off on aim on the left side. maybe its the way it was inserted...i can keep it the wa it is but id rather have it aim perfectly straight..

In the diagram below, A is the vertical adjustment and B is the horizontal. The horizontal adjustment is part of the parking light bulb mount.

no screw

i was playing with it on my headlights last night...it pulls out like it were a bulb

marcus, id just accept that your reflector headlights w/ HID's in them arent going to be perfectly straight

cool good to know.. so we pull then turn to adjust left and right? actually the cutoff was ok little spread around it but i still got the 2 spots shining on the wall when i was adjusting.. that the reason i went with bixenon cos those came with shields on them..so looking at the headlight youll see top part of the headlight brighter than the half bottom..so far im happy..if not ican do projector but i think yaris projectors uses h1...

I know this is an old thread, but I had trouble finding information about yhe horizontal headlight adjuster anywhere until I removed my headlight. It is actually hiding under a cap (difficult to remove without breaking it) just to the outside of the headlight bulb and down a little bit. Once the cap is off, you will see a small plastic corkscrew that is used to adjust the light from left to right. I sincerely hope this helps someone else and im not reviving a 7 year old post for nothing.
