There should be the same type of screw. The Cobra has a white **** with a hex cut-out in the middle of it. It's right on the top, near the radiator cover almost.

Still the same thing, should be something that looks like a hex or phillips (One of my sets of headlights has a hex the other set has a phillips I think), screw that left or right to adjust the headlight up or down.

*REMEMBER*

I'm sure you already know this, but I'll just throw it here....With you're drivers side headlamp, aim that down a bit more than the passenger headlamp so that you're not blinding oncoming traffic. A lot of people think that both lights should be aimed the same, but those people are very wrong.

Really? The manual says to aim both the same. Maybe I need to check my headlights then...

nice tidbit, bout the aiming but if its a 99-04 then theres a screw on the top of the lens, i think its either right to the left or right of the inside locking pin

I was taught to do it a different way, but the result is the same. I was always told to aim the drivers headlight inboard a bit (aka slightly angled towards the center of the car.)
