Open the hood and you will see a adjustment screw on the front part behind the headlight. It's an allen head if I remember correctly. It only adjust the bulb angle, not the housing itself.

you can get to the back of the headlight that way?? The only way ive gotten to the back of them was by taking the bumper off since they are tucked into the fender but i will for sure look after work

It doesn't get you to the back of the headlight, just an adjustment screw.

Yeah they are on the top of the fender wells under the hood, fairly close to the hydraulic strut attachments - and looks like it's made with white nylon/plastic. It's easy to get to, and uses something like a 6mm allen.

Officer, the procedure's explained in the owner's manual too. Look it up and that will tell you where the adjustment screws are.
