Headlight adjustment
I've searched this forum and Google and no luck. Nothing that says, do this...
So here's my DIY
Follow DIY for installing new light bulbs.
Once panels are removed and look this picture here.

Using a 8mm socket, turn counter clockwise to raise light level (see red circle).
This is where my DIY stops and your preference begins. Make sure
the car is leveled from left to right, with lights on and beaming at a flat wall,
increase to desireable height. I turned my 180-degrees and It made such a difference. Since my car is lowered, having the lights beam up a little, you can see more further away. That's it. Simple.

Can't you adjust it with a screwdriver going in from the engine bay? Maybe it's different for 06 lights, but for my lights, it takes 2-3 seconds to adjust them.

Its hard to believe they made the headlamp adjustment so hard to do on the '06.

It's not hard to do on the '06 at all. Put a phillips screwdriver down the access hole and turn. Takes all of 5 seconds to adjust the beam height.
