Look behind the headlight, you will see one plastic phillips head screw head. Get you a long phillips screw driver and pressdown hard to not strip the plastic head, screw lefty loosy I believe to angle the headlights up. Just did this a few days ago. Worked like a champ!

I think you're supposed to turn "clockwise" to raise the lights. "Counter clockwise" to lower it. I did a quick Google search and found a PDF for 2002-2008 vehicles, I don't think much should have changed.
