Question Headlight adjustment

Does anyone know how to adjust the headlight height? I feel as though my lights are a little low, but I don't know how to adjust them.

There should be some screws around the headlight housing so you can adjust it up and down (sorta like adjustable pods). I would face the car towards a wall so you can match both sides.

It's a funny looking cone with grooves. I never would have figured it out if the dealer didn't show me. A phillips head will adjust it.

Just as a note: If your headlights need adjusting, you can take them to a mechanic to set them back to true. Some states require that all headlight adjustment be done by professionals. No blinding oncoming motorists now.

I'm not trying to blind anyone, just trying to adjust one side. I replaced my front headlight housings with some new ones, and they are not the same height. One side is higher than the other. I just have to adjust one side. There is this one adjustment that requires a screw driver but it only adjusts the L-R position of the headlight beam. I need the vertical adjustment. However, I will look at the lights again.
