Question Headlight allingment - how to?

Just installed new PIAA Intense White bulbs, low beams. However, at a distance of 3 feet they are off by about 2 inches. The passenger side is a little bit higher than the driver side.

Does anyone know how to align them????? it is usually just a screw, but I can't find it and it's driving me NUTS!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hard to believe that if the housing weren't adjusted that the lamps will be out of alignment...anyways, free bump for an answer from an '08 owner.

Check the owner's manual? I'd check mine, but I don't have it handy...

Hmm, I thought this was normal on all cars. I've never driven any car where the light output aligns. Haha.

owners manual says, "For headlight alignment, take to authorized mitsubishi repair facility." No repair manuals out yet.

Oh, I believe you. I just think it's bullcrap.

When I pay over $20,000 for a car, I should be able to align my own headlights.
