[hr]Open the hood and look at the braces that run across the tops of the headlights. These would be black painted steel. In each brace is an opening, or hole. Take a light and look down through that hole and you will see a white plastic disk with a hex socket in it. That is the adjuster. You can take the right allen wrench or a screwdriver and stick it through the opening and turn that white hex head. That will raise and lower your beams. I have had to do that every time I change bulbs because they all don't fit the same.So just take a look with a good flashlight on top of the headlight housings and you should find that adjustment screw.

I had the same problem with my lamps too.
easiest way to fix it is face the car at a flat wall (at night time helps) turn your beams on now pop the hood get a wrench and as you turn the bolt left or right your light beam will adjust height or your light beam. the bolt for adjustment is located right by the main head light bulb is
good luck
