Cool How Do I Adjust Headlight Beam Level??

hey guys i just got my 03' IS back from the body shop...i was having the front end repainted....it seems that they had to take out my front headlights to take the bumper off and everything....and when i got home i turned them on to make sure everything was ok and the right side headlight beam is way higher than the left side.....is there any way that i could adjust this myself or do i have to bring it in to the dealership?!....any info?...thanks

There is an 8mm **** on the top edge on back of the headlight housing. Its just a silber 8mm nut.

Hey...thank you so much for the info...but i have to ask...im seeing two sets of bolts on the back of the housing....does the 8mm nut have a plastic covering over the back to keep it form moving....or is it the other nut that is sortof tucked towards the outer edge of the car??....because that nut doesnt have a covering over the back of it...thanks again man
