Default Headlight adjustment

Has anyone had to have their headlights adjusted? I find my headlights are very low when driving. Can't read the licence plate or shine light on a read bumper of a car directly in front of me or a ways away. Maybe it has something to do with the staggered position of the car?

It looks like the Premium Triple Beam LED headlights are similar to the HID units on my 2015 for adjustment, so if you open the hood you should see a hole in the black plastic trim on the front portion marked with arrow and U and D. Get a fairly long philips screwdriver, insert it in the holes down the slot into a gear, and turn clockwise (keep track of how many turns you make so you can duplicate it on the other side). You are also suppose to turn the L and R hole the same amount clockwise to center it again too.

Here's a pic of the engine bay. You'll see one hole near the washer fluid and the other one near the intake.

adjusted these lights lastnight........and ended up making them high beams by accident. I adjusted the beam for 25 feet away to the same cutoff lines as HID's from my other car. But somehow....it came out to be high beaming everything.
Anyone have experience with this? Don't know if it's any different than HID's

I think I might just have to "eyeball" it for the adjustment unless anyone has any better suggestions
