there should be 2 adjustment screws.. even tho they dont seem to move if u watch the headlight beam u can see it moving side/side or up/down.. best time to do it is at night 25ft from a wall on flat surface.. with some guide lines.. in the manual it should show u how to adjust em..

mine had 2 screws that stuck out above the lens...you could see when you looked behind the lens that they had gears attatched to them. i dont know what the hell kind of bit attaches to it...ive been looking for AGES...i always just use vise grips.

there ya go, i'd suggest in gettin a Chiltons or Haynes Manual from ur local parts store.. i bought the haynes and it was prolly one of the best $15 i've spent on my car..bought it back in 03 for my first cav(2000) and still have it and it works for this one(96) also becuz the 3rd gens are mainly all teh same minus looks.
