Default Headlight Aiming

Any of you out there know the procedure for aiming the headlights on our cars?

The dealer had to replace mine and they are aimed too high it seems as I am now blinding people. I would rather not bring it back to the dealer if possible.

Default I did some more digging and found this link

I followed the instructions and adjusted the aim with a phillips screwdiver. The front left was almost shooting into space. There are 2 adjustment screws on the top of the lights. The ones close to the engine adjust light height. The others did not appear to do anything.

I'm no longer blinding people.<ul><li><a href="http://www.danielsternlighting.com/images/Aim.pdf">http://www.danielsternlighting.com/images/Aim.pdf</a</li></ul>

You can do it manually. Open the hood. There is a white plastic screw by each of the headlight units. I believe a philips screwdriver is what you need. Park up close to your garage door or wall, turn on your lights, and turn those screws til it's just right. When you turn the screw, you'll see how it lifts or lowers the aim on the lights.
