Adjusting headlight aim after clearing

I cleared my headlights a while back, but the aim is a little off. The passenger side looks slightly lower than the driver side. How do I adjust them properly? Am I better off having Honda do it with their machine?

Thanks

SpeedStars is an unknown quantity at this point
Well you can just adjust them yourself..
if you look down on the headlight them self.. there should be a hex shape screw.. just take the 8mm.. or was it 10mm and turn it right or left to aim it..

I had the same problem, just leave your low beams on.. better if you do it in a dark place so you can see the beam levels.. i used my garage during night time to aim..
