Hi Tom,

Here is the information we have on adjusting the headlight beams for your car.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - HEADLAMP UNIT ALIGNMENT

HEADLAMP UNIT ALIGNMENT PREPARATION

Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam indicator operation.
Inspect and correct damaged or defective components that could interfere with proper headlamp alignment.
Verify proper tire inflation.
Clean headlamp lenses.
Verify that luggage area is loaded as the vehicle is routinely used.
Vehicles equipped with automatic load leveling suspension should be driven normally for approximately 5 km (3 miles) before attempting a proper headlamp unit alignment.
Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5 lbs.) Of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated gallon of missing fuel.
ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION

Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft.) Away from front of headlamp lens (Figure 1).
If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62 meters (25 ft.) Away from and parallel to the wall.
Rock vehicle side-to-side three times and allow suspension to stabilize.
Jounce front suspension three times by pushing downward on front bumper and releasing.
Measure the distance from the center of headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/down adjustment reference.

Life the hood and you can find the headlight lens adjusters here are diagrams to help (below)

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
