What does it look like?
Is it the screw that has a ling white plastic collar over it on the top near the housings?

Which direction do you turn it to align them more upwards?

Googled the **** out of this and came up empty - the Cruze manual says to go to the dealer for adjustment...
Thanks
Nick

Should be a white screw. Which direction? Well that depends if you want to raise or lower your lights. My suggestion would be to read http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/36-audio-electronics/3396-adjusting-headlights.html.

Thank you.
I have read this thread, and unless I missed it, all it says is how much to turn (which helps) but not clockwise or counter...
As I said in the OP, I want to raise.

you kind of have to play it by ear as you do it. also be careful when you adjust them. if you raise them too uch you will blind everyone on the raod... i can not tell you how often i want to braek the headlights of the car who has thier lights adjusted so high that i cant see .... i say this as a word of caution make sure that when you adjust your lights so you can see better do not prevent others from seeing

my headlights pointed straight into the ground. i had the dealer adjust them under warranty. much better now

I understand. I just need to know which direction before I get started, lol.

Well in order to do this, you'll want to have the car pointed at a wall (garage door, etc.) and you want the car 25ft away on flat pavement. Then you want to measure the height from the ground to the middle of the headlight (right in front of the headlight). Next step is to measure the height of the beam on the wall. Then just experiment with the screw. You'll be able to see right away which direction is correct.

turning to the right (tightening) will bring the beam up or higher. Make sure at 25ft away your beam is about 2in lower than the actual height of the headlight. This will ensure you aren't blinding on coming traffic.

I turned mine to the right 1.5 times and that seemed to work well for me. It all depends on where yours are now.
