Default Adjusting the headlight

I am looking for how to adjust the headlights up.
I see the only adjustment availlable is left to right.
Is there an other adjusting screw on the underside of the bumper?
Thank you

It MIGHT help to know what type of Saturn you're driving, S series, L series, Vue, Ion etc. Do a youtube search.

If you can post a pic of the back of the light I may be able to help.

You're on the same platform as the Pontiac g6 though, so it may be the same

I watched a video of a guy replacing the entire headlight assemblies, and I'm not sure there's any type of vertical adjustment on them at all. I'm probably wrong, as they don't show the assembly in very much detail, just how to replace them. Good luck with it.

I have had the light assembly out and I did not see ant vertical adjustment on the assembly its self.
I might just have to elongate the top mount holes

That's an idea, but what about the piece that the long tab on the back of the assembly locks in to? That might prevent much upward tilting. IDK, just speculating.

Go to gmpartsdirect.co (not c o m ) , look up your car and look at the headlight assembly.
If I was looking in the right place, it shows a vert adjustment external hex adjuster on the top center of the headlight.
