Search. There are screws on the backside of the headlights (under the hood) that will adjust them.

They adjust, but little by little as you turn and I think eventually they stop when you hit the top or bottom of the adjustment.

Definitly need to adjust them when it's dark. I did mine last week and I thought they weren't adjsuting, but I kept turning and looking closely and notice that the were moving up slowly.

Yeah, they take a lot of turns. If they don't adjust at all, it means the adjustment inside the lens is broken. Seems to be fairly common, my stock lights had this problem.

You have to turn them a good bit to get the reflectors to move
