Depending on the model, recent or latest model has built in
adjuster for headlight. Otherwise, if your car don't have, then
you have to open the front hood and locate one or two screw
bolts besides each headlight. If you only see one (1) then
that can adjust up and down only focus. If two (2) screw
bolts, one screw bolt can adjust up and down (vertical) focus
and the other screw bolt can adjust left or right (horizontal)
focus.
Try to find the adjustment screws ...usually there are 2 adjustment screws one to adjust up and down and the other left or right... This screws are usually located either on top or at the back of the headlight housing..
Might be rusted and seized up. Try spraying some WD40 and let it sit for a while. Then try turning screw again. Do this a few times, if still not able to adjust, recommend you remove head light assembly and replace the adjustment screw.
their are adjustment screws/knobs that can be found behind the h/l assy. you should open your hood and with a flashlight try paiently to locate and gain access to these adjusters
On the top of your headlight you should see a screw (usally a star type) that adjust the up and down adj. On the side between the light and grill bezel you should see the same type of screw. That one will adj. the side to side movement. It will be easier if you find a flat wall to use when adj. your lights. Park about 15 feet away and adj. , then drive around and adj. more if needed.
The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly,
behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator
support.
You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam
(separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and
lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal
adjustment screws as well
Park
your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height
from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams
and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same
bulb, only do it for the lows)
For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then
aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall.
If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.
For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.

There are no screws need to be removed from the headlight bezel as the lamp need be only removed from the rear. On the rear of the headlight unplug the wiring harness, then turn the big hand screw /catch only 1/4 turn and pull out the socket and lamp straight out. then replace the burnt lamp and do the reverse of which you did to get it out.
open the hood, take a close look at your headlights, if it is a headlight assembly, there are two screws with big plastic heads on the back of the assembly, these are the adjusting screws. one for horizontal adjustment and the other one is for vertical adjustment.
if the headlight is a round or square ordinary bulb, the adjusting screws are located near the bulb itself, these are philips screws. one on the top and one on the side.
a suggestion; when adjusting headlights, face the car to a wall about 5 ft away and adjust the headlight.
