there is an adjustment rod above the headlight with the hood open. It should be a very small little rod that you can fit a very small socket onto. If you turn it clockwise it should raise it, if not go the other way. It adjusts the entire headlight by moving the bottom in and out.

I beleive if you look between the chrome molding and headlight you will see a visible philips head screw on the upper right or upper left, tightening or loosening that screw should adjust the beam left to right.
