Default Adjust the headlight's height

As the title stated, my headlights seem a little bit lower. How can I adjust the height? I dont have the OEM HID, but I have the aftermarket HID kit on.

after I removed the plastic covers, I just can't find the bolts to turn.
Do you guys have pictures for it??
Really appreciate.

there's a great DIY right in the owners manual
you remove plastic covers under the hood and adjust the headlights with a screwdriver
clockwise turn moves the beam down, counterclockwise - up

You got it easy then, cause when you have OEM HIDs you have to adjust it up & down along with left & right.

Seems a lot easier to just adjust the rear height sensor. One bolt, 5 minutes, done.
