Is there any way to adjust the beam of the headlights? I have noticed that the beam from the left headlight points more to the right and since I don't have the manual for my VX I want to know if their is a screw or dial something to help me adjust them. Thanx for the help ahead of time just in case I forget to say thanx.

There is a screw/dial. Pop the hood and you'll see it. This dial adjusts mostly up and down aiming of the beam with a slight left and right movement. The service manual says you need to remove the headlight and add certain spacers to adjust left and right.
Your headlight is probably aimed to the right at the factory to avoid glare for on-coming traffic.
You can use a flat head screwdriver or a 10mm socket - here are 2 other posts on adjustment: http://club.vmag.com/ubb/Forum39/HTML/000289.html

It helps if you can aim at a garage door or wall and see where you are adjusting - please err to the right as opposed to blinding oncoming traffic.

Make sure that it is actually off though.
The VX uses an European "Z" beam and the right always looks as if it's lit up more than the left.. The high point of the left beam merges with the lower part of the right beam creating the fill.. The right is made to do this so as to light up the edge of the road.
