Headlight level change?
I recently changed both of my headlight bulbs and I was wondering if anybody knows how to properly lower the headlights because it seems they are aimed a little high.
I tried to look into the manual, but could not find it (or I wasn't looking hard enough.)
OR should I leave it as is?
Please let me know. Thank you!

My suggestion would be re-check if the bulbs got engaged/seated properly and then leave it alone. Once you get into changing it, you will find that getting it just perfect is an elusive goal ... one keeps on adjusting for eternity.
Some garages have the equipment to set the beams right.
Here is what you need to do:
FIll the gas tank.
Inflate the ties.
Load the vehicle as best you can [front and back seat and trunk] to mimic your driving conditions.
Then have them adjusted.
If you want to tinker with them, specially only up and down, you need to look at the bubble level provided behind the lamp assembly.
There are two planes of adjustments, left-right, up-down and each has its ****. The important thing is figuring out which **** does what. So mark the **** at current setting and count the turns you make. To start with only do full turns so that it is easy to go back. In case you turned the wrong ****, you can bring it back.
