Aim Headlights? Help!

Got a set of aftermarket L headlights off e-bay. Very happy with the look btw. Only problem that I can see is that the lows don't extend quite as far as stockers. I also notice that on hills they extend fine, which makes me believe that they need to be aimed slightly higher.

Question is, obviously, how do I do this? I've tried on my non-existent freetime to see how to aim to no avail. Please help me... I cannot see! (lol)

Thanks much!

When you took off the stock headlights, did you use the stock brackets to put the new ones on? The stock brackets have some adjustment, but I'm not sure if you can adjust them without take the headlights out.

They can be adj while in but it is very hard UNLESS you've got the right tool. You have to turn the end of the studs. Or you can pull them out and turn the black plastic piece on the stud.
