Default Adjusting headlights

How hard is it to adjust the headlights on a C6? I had Morimotos installed some time ago and feel they are aimed too high. How can I adjust them or do I need to take it to a shop?

TIA

I hung a furniture blanket in my garage, and used tape as per the video for height and lateral adjustment. Morimoto's make is easy peezie!

I thought my lights were too high as well.
Double checked them and they are aimed properly.
I think it’s just inherent to the lights.

I've got the C8 version but bet they're the same, it's not terribly hard, just have to turn the wheels all the way each side too get your hand in there to adjust the 8mm adjustment bolt. Not that bad
