Default headlight aiming for 2002 V6

hey guys...i was wondering how I could adjust my headlight aim on my 2002 V6 without having to go to mechanic as stated in the manual. I got into a little accident and never corrected it...it's been bothering me a lot recently since i've been doing a bunch of night driving. THX. be sure to be specific cuz ive never really messed around with my car cept for changing light bulbs which dont even really count...

There are 2 or 3 screws located on the back side of the housing. Depending on the direction i.e. clockwise, or counter...the beam will either move to the right/left, or up/down.

Hope it helps

There should be a horizontal and a vertical screw I believe on the 6th gens. I know on my 4th gen there is just 1 screw that if you tighten it the headlight goes up and vice versa.

I believe if you are looking at the headlight try looking right by the headlight head on to see if there are any screws/bolts to adjust (hood up) if not look where the bulbs go there should be an adjuster there
