Question headlight adjustment

ok...i posted this in the "how to's" but will try here too since that was prob the wrong forum and didn't get one responce...seems to be a trend...are my questions too tough??

anyone know hot to adjust both the vert and horz direction of the headlight beam?
i hit a deer awhile back and the bodyshop didn't get them right...my drivers is a bit high and the passangers goes to the right.
i have tryed with the 3 screws per light(2 on top and 1 in front) but not much luck...am i missing something?

There is a screw on the back of the lens for height... you may need to shim the passenger side a little - but it's going to look goofy as all hell... Good Luck

figured it out the other night...
well first off i have the blacked out headlights and it is easier to find on them since they have a lil picture.
you will see 2 holes...one kinda middle inside and one on the outer most part before it gets covered by the body...both are on top of the light.
on the blacked out headlights it tells you wich is up and down and wich is left and right also wich way to turn.
all you do is stick a long skinny phillips screwdriver and turn.
if you have stock lights the outer one is left and right and the inner one is up and down.it is also harder with the stock cause there are no holes...if you look in the back you will see 2 white covers...there is a little hole.guide to put the screwdriver through and simply turn.
if you are doing it at home make sure your car is on a flat/level surface and be far enough away from a wall or garage to see any changes you make.
through trial and error you will find the spot you like
