Cant see far with stock headlights?

Hey guys I recently got both headlights replaced under warranty because a lens had popped out on them. Now I cant see more than 20-30 ft in front of my car and it seems like they are aimed towards the ground. Even when I have high beams on I cant see into the distance far at all. Any suggestions on what I do can I take them off and aim them myself?

don't think you have to take off the lights to adjust them. all my cars i can adjust w/ the lights still on. just need a screw driver.

20 or 30 feet thats not much at all. only thing i can think of is when they were putting them back in they aimed the light down towards the ground by accident or what not. i guess i wood take it back and let them redo it or i guess do it yourself

there is a white *** on the top side of the headlight used to move the direction of the light up and down.

I used a rachet with like an 8mm socket to adjust mine.

A white knob?

Mine, and every other set I've seen just had an allen hex bolt that you could use to adjust them

Just went outside played around with the hex bolt and it def made a big difference. Ill tell you really cant expect anyone to do anything right. These days you have to do everything yourself
