Default Aiming Headlights (Firebird)

So I had to put in a new headlight assembly and the lights are horribly aimed. I don't really see any adjustment points aside from adjusting the entire assembly which even then I'm not sure how I'd change very much. My passenger headlight basically points straight down at the ground, isnt being much help

There are adjusting screws at the front of the light bulb assembly. They are the star tip screws. They are along the perimeter of the lights.

^^^ what he said.... also, mark headlight height to center and width to center on a wall with tape and back up about 20' (i think 20, maybe 5 more/less) this will give you proper aim, adjust to your preference from there

Maybe the 'OP is talking about the entire headlight door/light/motor assembly and not just the bulb?
