FSM is your best choice.

If you open the hood and look at the center support, you will see that there a re a couple holes in it behind the headlight. There are two adjusting screws beneath a couple of the holes.

I parked my car in the driveway at night and turned on the headlights so that they shined on the garage door. I played around with the adjustment screws until they looked right. I can't remember how high the beam is supposed to be on the garage door and how far back the car is supposed to be from the garage door, but that's how you do it.

Again,...look in the FSM

Make sure that wherever you do this;

1. It's flat ground, otherwise you'll aim them too high or low.

2. It's at night when you do the adjustments, i hope this is obvious.

3. Be careful not to overtorque the adjustment screws as the gears they turn are plastic.
