Cool headlight issues

I have had other bikes but I can't figure out how to adjust the headlight on my 1995 Sportster 883 Hugger can anyone help?

If it's the same as my 2000, here's what you do.

1) _Carefully_ pop off the bolt covers with a screwdriver. These are just little caps which sit on top of two hex bolts. It takes very little force to get them off.

2) Remove the hex bolts, and the headlight cover.

3) Now you'll see a big bolt. Loosen, adjust the headlight aim, and tighten again. And, I'd recommend putting some locktite on that bolt.

DISCLAIMER: I'm no mechanic, but I did successfully adjust my headlight last week.
