Anyone know how to adjust them? Maybe there's a DIY?

Park your car in front of a wall at night time, put some markings on the wall like tape and such where the light cutoff line is so you can have a point of reference as you adjust. Open the hood, you'll see the adjustment screws on each headlight that look like beer bottle caps. Use a flathead screwdriver to turn those. Not sure which way, but you can see the headlight cutoff line changing as you turn them. It's easier than it seems.

are you using a long phillips screw driver the one likes like a + ?
if you can't seem to turn it . try using a wrench and turn it. not sure what size,but from the pic the square looking on the bottle cap you can turn.
