Default 04 headlight question

I just got my new (04) LTP Convert. a few weeks ago and found the R. front headlight is not aimed properly.

I found out from my dealer that the R. headlight was replaced by the dealer 2 years ago and before I deal with going in to have them do it (stll under warranty) I figured I'd just do it myself. However, it's quite a foreign setup to what I'm used to.

I see a capped off tunnel on tops with "L - R" posted on it and I'm assuming that adjusts the beam left to right. What I do not see is a similar adjustment for the up/down.

The light is so far off that when I was driving in front of the car a few nights ago it looked like the R. headlight was about 1/3 the brightness of the Left one.

ALSO! I need to replace the Pass. turn sig. bulb. I don't see any way to get into the back of the housing. Does the lense have to come off?

Any info to get me on the right track will be GREATLY appreciated.

I'm LOVING this car... just wish I could find a way to get the seat track moved back a few inches... being quite tall (6'9") do fit in, but would love a bit more room!

The brightness difference might be different Age bulbs or one glass worn more than the other.

The marker has a tab that holds it in. You have to carefully push the tab and slide the marker foward.

But be very careful the tabs are known to break.

The up and down adjustment should be about half way to 3/4 the way down the back of the headlight in the center.
