Default Aiming headlights

So both of my headlights seemed to be aimed in the dirt, with the driver's side visible only about 30 or so feet up. There is, however, no way to adjust the headlights on the assembly. So the only other option is to physically adjust the assemblies, which I don't see a way to. The car probably has a little tweaking around the radiator support area which is causing the misaligned headlights.

So, what are my options to adjust it? Are aftermarket headlights adjustable? Or am I just SOL?

Do you have HID/XENON headlights?

Looking in ALLDATAdiy, Non-HID/XENON have both lateral and height adjustment screws.

I have never found them. While I would be okay with being blind, even the dealer told me I was SOL.

So I was poking around, but the left light doesn't move when I turn it. I think it fell off some how? I don't know. I'm going to take it apart and see if it's fixable.

More to follow.
