Isn't there just a **** of some sort that you can turn (sometimes with a Phillips screw driver) to change the angle of the headlights? It should be on the back of the housing.

youd need to have the lights on, pointed at a wall, with the car on a level surface.

It should be an 8mm plastic nut with a slot for a screwdriver. If you have a small ratchet, you can do it with the lights in the car.
