I am still very new to car mechanics, so this is completely uncharted territory for me.

Obviously if all it requires is s screwdriver and some patience then I think I can handle it, just wanted to make sure it didn't need some special tools.

It's very easy, but make sure to grab a torx screwdriver - I think it's a t15 for that one (won't be able to check for a bit sorry) the adjuster screws are at 4 o'clock and (left hand side light when looking at the front of the jk) and 8 o'clock on the right hand side - they are outside of the retainer ring holding the headlights in

Great! Had a quick look this morning and could see them but couldn't quite reach them through the aftermarket grill, will take it off tonight. I am assuming vertical adjustment is a similar process with different screws?

No, vertical adjustment is done via the white knob things at the back of the headlights - I'm on mobile and can't really find a pic atm - will be about 9pm or so when I can, someone else may be able to link you up in the meantime if you can't find anything...

As a side note re the horizontal adjustments - you're going to need a long screwdriver to make the adjustments as some screwdriver handles hit the holding ring before the bit gets into the screw

Takes a sec to find them, but you'll never forget them after that lol

Ok so that didn't go as planned. Passenger side adjusted like a dream. Drivers side was a bit tight, so i put a bit more force to it and it stripped the threads in a seconds, can still screw it out, but it does not want to go in Are the torx screws replaceable?
