Adjust headlights??

For some reason, my headlights are pointed to the sky. They provide little to no road visibility. How do I adjust them vertically?? Do I have to remove the bumper? If so, are there instructions?? Thanks!

There are usually bolts that stick out from the back of the headlight assembly itself. One is for the vertical adjustment and the other is for the horizontal. You can adjust them using those bolts. There is a DIY on this classic site:

Or if you have access to a beamsetter, that would save you a lot of time.
