Headlight aiming, highbeam intensity

Has anyone successfully re-adjusted their headlights? The dealer says that no adjustments are possible, as they are "computer-controlled" (auto-leveling). Also, has anyone installed higher wattage bulbs in their high beams?

Not true, may want to search. The xenon headlights have an adjustment control under the hood.

EDIT: I found it for you.. happy thanksgiving.

Thanx--found the thread (apparently my search wasn't that great!) and adjusted them last night. Much better. Gotta love that the dealer was adamant about not being able to do so! Now to increase the wattage of the high beams!

if you put higher wattage bulbs in there.. expect your headlight to melt.. either the wiring or the assembly.. neither are cheap or easy to replace. What I'd do is get uncoated bulbs.. most H9's are offroad so just find some that aren't coated and they'll be much brighter.
