Ther should be some knobs that can be adjusted by hand, or with a screwdriver directly behind the headlight unit under the hood. Check the owner's manual. It lets you raise or lower the beam, or direct it more left or right..

If you can't figure it out, take it the dealer. They shouldn't charge for that kind of work...

There are two adjusment points on each headlight.You will need a long phillips head screwdriver and a small flatblade screwdriver.If you look at the rear of your headlight housing for a bit you will see two crown gears,these are your adjusters.The long screwdriver slides in thru the top rear of the headlite and engages the crown gear this will allow you to adjust both left and right and up and down.You may need to remove the black trim panel along the radiator support to get better access.Use caution when adjusting your light make incremental changes and drive the car and see if it is more to your liking.Always keep in mind that xenon lighting is very bright so do not adjust to the point of blinding oncoming traffic.I believe the adjustment procedure is also covered in your owners manual.Jens
