Hello,
I just bought a 2008 S80 V8 & the headlights are aimed dangerously low. Searched several forums & found conflicting info (most for other models) for how to adjust the headlight aim.
Based on what I read, I think I may have found an adjustment, but didn't want to just start cranking on things without knowing I'm on track.

Photo shows driver side, I'm guessing it is in the access hole just to the right of the left (inboard) silver locking pin.
can anyone verify I'm in the right place?

thanks much...

Well, I just gave it a shot with a 6mm nut driver & I was in the right place.

New photos show the nut driver in the correct access holes for vertical adjustment
Left-Right adjustment are the outboard access holes

Glad you got it figured out. Does your car have active bi-xenon lights?

Nope, these are halogens. I guess I should have stated that first off...
