My headlights are pointed to low and interfere with fog lights. If I turn off fog lights I can barely see any distance in front of me. Only noticeable on dark roads which happened last night. I looked in manual and cannot figure out by diagram which two bolts are the ones to use. Very vague. Can anyone take a picture of exactly which bolts they are? Should be one for up/down and one for left/right adjustments. Thx

Also my headlight switch on dash is at highest position.

Yes set to 0. Still points way down.
 
page 579/580 of manual for reference. Thx
 
OP - I've been trying to figure out the same thing. Extremely confusing - or I just haven't had enough cocktails when I've read the manual.
 
So dealer was actually able to help me with this. They were pointed too low. Here are the adjustment points if anybody else needs to adjust vertically or horizontally. The pics when philips going towards fender is for up/down and shots going down towards ground adjusts horizontally. There are grooves in each slot and turn left/right depending on what adjustment is needed. Hope this helps others.

Nice work. I set mine at 0, but given my lift, my beam regularly hits the headrest of the sedan in front of me. Sometimes I feel bad and think about angling it down, but I haven't done this yet. :D

Haha I think you can just use the internal switch and set it at 1 or 2 to lower slightly and if someone cuts you off change it to 0. The horizontal adjustment was really nice to pick up more of the shoulder and off road. I did set mine a little higher then recommended with the idea if needed I can adjust down at dash switch.
 
That's a great idea. I know I can set it lower, but I kind of don't want to. :D
 
My 2011 has different adjustment points. There is a small silver bolt above each of the light housings. Simply turn left or right to adjust up and down. Crappy cell pic attached.
