Does anyone know how to re-adjust the aim of the high beams? I assume their should be a couple of adjustment screws.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Okay here's what you do.
First go to place where you can park your car facing a wall and on a very flat surface. Aim your car's headlight towards the wall so you can see the shape and the height of your light beams. Then pop open the hood and next to the headlight unit, there are two jig-saw looking clogs. One on top of the headlight controls the up-down angle, and another on the side (towards the center of the car) controls the left-right angle. Then using a phillips screw driver you can slowly turn the clog. (clockwise/counter-clockwise will move it in a up/down or right/left direction). Then look at the beam on the wall and make your adjustments until your headlight is balance. That's all.

Thanks GSPower for the information for the headlights. I have HID's. Is it safe to assume that there are similar adjustment clogs for the inner high beam lights?

Glad I can help 
I had the same problem before when I got one of head light re-installed. I had to adjust them to balance them out. Are you adjusting yours because you lowered your car? If that's the case, then there is a lever by the rear driver side suspension that you can adjust to re-level the car for the new ride height.
To answer your question, only the big outside head light unit is adjustable. The inner high beam one is not.
