Unhappy Head Light adjustment

I have the 2011 28i with the regular head lights. The black adjustment screw on top of the head light assembly. Is that for the lower beam? I think when you turn it counter clock wise you raising it. What is the adjusmet with the black cap on it to the side of the light assembley at the edge of the finder? Is that for the high beem?

Unless you're leading the "how many miles on your F25" poll by a large margin then you're still within warranty. Bring it to the dealer and let them aim your headlamps correctly.

Leave that to the dealership! You start blasting oncoming traffic more than we do already and they're gonna legislate aiming the dang things off the road.

Yes. Every so often an on coming driver will flash their high beams at me. I flash back to show my low beams are on. This is my first car with Xenons. Is this common?

Yes, but in my experience it's happening less as more vehicles have them. I think most are now better at aiming so it's a brighter light, but not really a more blinding one unless you catch us at the crest of a hill or something. In fact, less blinding than the bozos driving around with their standard high-beams on in the daytime!!
