there are two adjustments on the headlights but as far off as you say yours are I would say that either the bulbs are messed up or the way they were bolted up. I had to take my front bumper back off and play w/ the position I bolted the headlights up. The adjustment screws on the back of the headlights are mainly for fine tuning. You'll need either a #2 or #3 phillips head screwdriver.

Pull your car up to wall, at night, and turn on your headlights. Using a screwdriver, adjust the headlights until they line up properly. When you installed the new lights, they were pushed out of alignment.
