This post needs a sticky
I printed out this post and Dewalt's items before I did my own adjustment - these are words and pics that everyone needs to keep on hand for just such an occassion.
PLEASE STICKY MODS!

I've often wondered if visitors to this country are appalled at our rude drivers. Insurance companies should insist on the electronic adjustments, but maybe they're afraid American drivers will use their headlights as weapons.
So many rude, impatient drivers on the road here.

Well happy camping DewaltDakota, I just followed your directions and hopefully when it's dark I'll notice the improvement (and hopefully no one beams me). I also tried to keep track of the screwdriver turns and it worked out to about 20 notches per gear.

I did the 25' away from the wall thing and watched the beam of light going up the wall (screwdriver counter clockwise raises the beam). Mine was about 4" low. Honda should creat a technicall service bulletin on this problem.
Does anyone know how to adjust the lights side to side or left and right?

The Helms service manual shows only one adjustment which they say is for vertical movement... no provisions for horizontal.
