Headlight adjustment

Does anyone know how to adjust the headlights on the 2003 Maxima's. Mine need to be raised a little. They point too much towards the ground instead of out in front of me.
I know we're supposed to take them to the dealer, but my dealerships here (Jackson, MS) have idiots working for them. Every other time I've taken my car to them, I've had to take it back at least 1 more time for the same problem or to fix what they have messed up.

Thanks in advance.

Its quite easy, there is a white **** with teeth on it located on the back of the headlight assembly. You will need an 8 mm ratchet to make the adjustments. Also, its advisable that you do this on level ground, parked at least 25 ft from flat and a light colored wall. This is to ensure that they dont get aimed too high. Good luck, pm with any questions.
