is it the projector style?

ill take a picture of my bug eye head lights to better explain this (I KNOW THEY ARENT THE SAME STYLE)

there should be 2 nuts or gearlike washers on each side of the head light... one will adjust lateral and the other will adjust vertical...
the best way to adjust them is find a level parking spot near a wall or use your garage door... park as close to square with the wall as possible and about 10-15 feet back... take a level and some masking tape (DOT says they are supposed to be around 3 feet high from 12 feet back or something close to that and laws vary by state but it is close to that :jack:) but if you feel they are too high then you can lower them a bit simply by turning on your beams and placing the masking tape right around where you want it... just keep in mind lights do this < and you don't want to loose too much of the distance on the light...

i have an 07 and had the same thing. mine where up in the trees lol, if you look down behind the headlight, there is a silver knob that you can crank, you will have to use a small socket, i cant remember which way you crank it for up and down. but if you just look for it you will see it.

it should be right between the low beam and the high beam right?
