there's two white adjustment posts. take a philips screw driver and turn it. I can't remember which one does what. One makes it go side to side, and the other up and down. Just be very easy on the adjustments though, If it doesn't want to turn don't force it. Lots of people strip their adjustment posts all to hell. Also there may be a shipping piece that sits in there to keep it from turning (can't remember if that's only xenon housings).

Open the hood to gain access to the adjustment screws. They are above the headlights. (Vertical - inside) , (Horizontal - outside)

Horizontal adjustment: Position the car perpendicular to a wall with high beams on. Mark on the wall at their positions. Back up.
As the beams toe in or out , stop and adjust.

Vertical adjustment: Start by matching height with driver's side , known good , beam. On a dark road make adjustments as needed.
