Default Can headlights be aimed/adjusted?

Jeez, the headlights sure are wimpy! I find myself driving with the high beams on at night. I've done it for the last 3 nights (left high beams on) and NOT A SINGLE DRIVER FLASHED HIS LIGHTS AT ME! <p>Is there a solution without spending $500 for new European units? Osram used to sell cheater or racing bulbs, 60/80 watt low/high rating as well as 55/100. But this does not seem to be a wattage problem, the top of the pattern is just cut too low.<p>Help!<p>EW

The headlights can easily be adjusted and there are even degrees shown. Open the hood and there are a set of screws for side to side and up and down. I found my lights too low and had your same problem. After mooving them up a little it made a world of difference. My side to side was right on and I only needed them a little higher. They tend to shine just slightly to the left to avoid blinding other drivers. I parked against my garage door after dusk and used the door as a guide to allign the lights. Hope this helps. Steve
