94' what? If Camry. There is a screw on the back of each headlamp that is pointing up at 90 degrees. Use a 4head screwdriver and turn it.

Shine your lights when its dark out up against a wall or something that you can tape out a level and vertical on. There should be 2 screws per lamp. When controls left to right on controls up and down. Might be hard to move but keep turning em. It happens little by little.

you have to take out your headlights so its be easier to adjust the headlight angle.

you mean take them out of the car? how are you supposed to align them when they're out of the car?

there are 2 screws per headlight. one adjusts up/down and the other adjusts left/right.

you can't just look at the headlight and check for movement up/down. it's never going to happen. you need to look at the light beam that it projects. so you need to do it at night perferably, on a flat road and maybe facing a wall from a distance of 10-20 meters.

on my ltd i actually did it on a flat road and looked at the pattern that it gave me on the road ahead, but on my camry it was easier to do it with the headlights shining on to a wall.
