Adjusting headlight level?

Did a quick search of the forums but didn't see this issue posted. The headlights on my 2014 Countryman for some reason seem to be pointed too low, so much that they are not throwing enough light out in front of the car when driving. Is it possible to adjust the aim of the headlights up to point further out (either manually or electronically)?

I am still under warranty -- can/should the dealer do this? Not sure if there is a specified setting, or why mine seem to be suddenly pointed too low.

Dealer issue as far as I'm concerned although it is a simple adjustment assuming nothing broke. They should have an alignment device that makes it simple to get right.

Awesome, thanks for the link. Looks easy enough to manually adjust.
