Default Aligning Headlights

Hey guys, i recently got my car out of the shop around 2 months ago, it got hit on the side, i needed new headlights so they replaced it but didnt align them properly the cut off line, is higher on the right headlight than it is on the left one. Is there any way where i can adjust it myself or do i have to take it to a shop or something? and how much does that run about? Thanks!

The cutoff line for the right side is supposed to be a bit higher then the left. This makes it so you wont blind oncoming traffic with your HIDS but still get good coverage on your side of the road.

Search, you'll find a DIY

Basically you'll need a screwdriver (I couldn't get this method to work), or a rachet+socket.

There's an adjustment screw for vertical, go out at night find a wall and a level ground, park back from it X amount of feet. adjust until one beam is slightly above the other.
