Park the car on a level surface facing a wall (car ~ 10' away)or garage door then turn the headlights on and see which light beam is projecting lower on the wall/door. Adjust the 2 screws for the light until you get what your after.

What if he meant the actual headlight itself, not the beam?

Not your bad engle, his bad,this is why its important to be specific..If engle1147s answer is not the right one try this one...

If it is the headlight door itself that your talking about being to low there are 2 rubber stops, one on top, one on bottom that you can adjust in or out to make the headlight door even with the hood ..WW
