Night driving getting flashed with high beams

[MasonicMoth]

Greetings one of the first things I did was disable the auto high-beams. I haven't gotten flashed until just now after installing my lowering kit. I believe it's because the rear is slightly lower than the front, thus pointing my headlights slightly upward?

Does anyone have a "how to" on adjusting the headlights? I looked in the engine bay but couldn't find any adjustment screws (or even an old-school liquid level for that matter lol)

Per your manual...

Maintenance - Adjusting the Headlamps
ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS

Vertical Aim Adjustment
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant. If your vehicle has been in an accident, have the alignment of your headlamps checked as soon as possible.

A 8 ft (2.4 m) B Center height of lamp to ground C 25 ft (7.6 m) D Horizontal reference line

1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface, approximately 25 ft (7.6 m) away.

1. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the ground and mark an 8 ft (2.4 m) horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen at this height.

Note: To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, block the light from one headlamp when adjusting the other.

1. Switch on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood.

1. On the wall or screen you will observe a flat zone of high intensity light located at the top of the right hand portion of the beam pattern. If the top edge of the high intensity light zone is not at the horizontal reference line, adjust the headlamp.

1. Locate the vertical adjuster on each headlamp.Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, turn the adjuster either clockwise or counterclockwise in order to aim the headlamp.The horizontal edge of the brighter light should touch the horizontal reference line.

1. Close the hood and switch off the lamps.

Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this vehicle and is non-adjustable.

TY I feel silly when I ask dumb questions... then I went and looked again and found the screws in question... turn these babies righty-tighty to angle the beam down
