Default Manually adjust auto leveling hedlights?

Is there a way to adjust auto leveling lights?
My auto level works but they are pointing to the floor basically and its hard for me to see.
Is there a way I can manually adjust them to point a little higher?

Near the back of the headlight housing there is a gear shaped circular ****. Rotate it until you see the light moving up, then set it to your desired height, preferably not directly in everyone's eyes like ricer hid's.

Good luck.

You might want to check your height sensors on the suspension next time you have the car in the air, if those are knocked out of adjustment it'll cause the autoleveling to do funny things.

How does one check these?

I have one light a bit higher then the other and about once a month the warning light comes on till the next restart. (HID's)
