only adjustment is with the holder itself

I was just looking at this about a half an hour ago as mine are too low since I dropped the front down more than the rear with the coilovers.

It shows all the adjustments in the 380 manual under the chassis electrical section. I haven't looked on the car but it appears you can adjust the lamps seperately up/down & sideways.

Just did some MOAR RESEARCH & the adjustments are all there!

They are lighter coloured plastic inserts that have a allen key adjustment but appears that there is also a philips head further down in the inserts. They are assessable either directly from above or through stategically placed holes in the metal panel behind the light.

Might need a pretty long philips driver to get to all of them but they are ALL definitely there!!

Thanks Fooz, I will have a look at this this morning and see if I can see the screws. Will update soon.

OK I have done the deed but things are a little different from the diagram insomuch as you are looking for a clear plastic alan key screw. Access for the high beam is through a hole in the top metal cross member. Just put the alan key down through the hole long ways. The adjustment screw placements seem to be correct in the diagram. Looking forward to a night run to test it out. Currently running one HID and one nightbreaker. Now that they are both adjusted roughly the same it will be interesting to see the "real" difference. Thanks again to Foozer
PS I have added this to the sticky for future reference.
