Bad news, I don't think they're repairable. Not positive though.

Is one higher than the other?? Then all you have to do is adjust the headlights. Instrauctions should be in the owners manual. Sorry I havent checked how exactly to do it on my car and our headlighst are different anyway. On my last car it was just a matter of adjusting some screws on top of the headlight.

its looks like 2 jagged edge round thing that are connected rite next to each other that look like it could be turn. i tired turning it today but it wont move. maybe i need to take off the headlights and turn it with a plyer and see what it does. hopefully that can straighten my lights.

Did you remove the diffusor too? That would explain a lot of things...

For some reason I'm starting to think that you have a 2002, if that's right then you didn't have a diffusor to begin with. If you don't and you have a '99-'01 TL, then you've got a problem if you pulled out the diffusor. You gotta find a way to put that thing back in as it's critical for controlling the beam pattern. Some guy pulled it out last fall and he couldn't see jack after that. I'm sure someone with more knowledge of the old topic will see this and have something to say. There was a discussion about this not too long ago and they commented then (the guy that pulled out the diffusor).
