Default Headlights adjustable?

I was wondering if there is any way to fix the headlights on my car. They seem like they aim more towards the ground than straight ahead to be honest! This makes it a problem when driving at night or even whenever there is heavy rain(I have to put my high beams on) I’m lowered on coils but even so my rear is lowered more than the front. Any suggestions?

Open your hood and look for a little silver metal looking cog around the top/back of the headlight housing. Use a philips head screwdriver to turn it to adjust the beam. You’ll want to do it at night or somewhere dark so you can see which way your adjustment is going.

Just like any other car, or here are adjustment cogs. Flat surface at night about 20-25 ft from the way and make small adjustments.

Pretty sure you turn clockwise (left) to raise.

Made a world of a difference for me.
