They are self adjusting/self leveling...if they are the OEM lights....so something is broken.
Edit....the self leveling feature is for when the car is loaded...it adjusts the aim of the xenon's...it is a required item on euro oem xenon's...but the have to be aimed...sorry if I mislead you!!

With the hood all the way open, if you look at what is now the bottom of the housing you see two rubber covers that cover the bulbs. The one closest to the windshield is for the Xenons. On either side of that cover you should see two black hex bolts. Depending on how you look at it one of them is to adjust from left to right, the other for up and down. There should be labels on the headlight housing that tell you "U <- -> D" or "L <- -> R." The arrows tell you which way to turn the hex bolt to adjust it in the proper direction.

You should be able to turn them by hand.
