There are 2 phillips head screws for adjusting each headlight. One on top of the light, one on the outside of the light.Clockwise for the top screw raises the light, counter clockwise lowers light. Takes about 5 mins total.
Makes life easier if you park next to a wall, on level ground, so you can line them up exactly.

They are suppose to aim a certain distance ahead. (I can't remember the distance, but google it.) And if you park your car on a level surface, a certain number of feet from a wall. With a piece of horizontal tape on the wall. You can line up your headlights. google "how to aim your headlights" such as this http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars...repair/1347221
