need help adjusting headlight beam

for some reason, my head lights aim really low, making it nearly impossible to see anything at night. Can any one tell me how one would go around to raise the beam pattern a little?thanks

There's a long silver screw on the upper corner of the headlights. Turning it should adjust the angle, I think...

Do you have JDM 1-piece lights, or the USDM two piece lights?

Its really easy... Theres a phillips screw driver needed and a good wall.... Thats all... First line u car up about 20 ft from the wall and turn your lights on... Pop your hood... Take that phillips head screw driver and put it in the hole and screw it to adjust the angle at which they shine... The screw is located right where the headlight meets the fender(which means side one)... Its on the outside side of the car and at the top of the light housing... Its a trick to get this screw to pop free from its black plastic housing, so dont worry about that.... If you look at the rear of the lights you cna see this big shiny screw sticking out... If you cant find this big screw attached anywhere, then good luck figuring out how to use a screw driver... After everything is said and done you adjust the lights so that they shine on the wall just right and add distance to your visibility w/o blinding everyone else ont eh road... Also, keep them shining at the same height or close to it if possible... Kinda ghetto having one blind ppl while the other shines 2 ft in front of the car.... I'll post a pic of the screw for all the idiots in the morning if someone else hasnt taken care of it by then!
