Anybody out there in Volvo Land know the trick to aiming the headlights on the '01 V70? I'm guessing there is some fancy Volvo tool to do it. The old-fashioned two-phillips-screws-with-springs don't seem to exist any more, and that just makes me sad. Of course the other thing that makes me sad is the lack of a shop manual for this car...which, in theory, would answer my question for me.

Thanks!

The headlight aim adjusters are behind the lamps on an axis perpendicular to ground. I think a Torx screw driver is needed.
BTW the fogs are adjustable also but it requires a splash panel be removed to get at the adjuster.
