To adjust your headlights, you need a flat car park or drive way, a nice wall, a 10mm spanner and some darkness.

Tip: It's easier to do one light at a time, put a rag over one and then do the other one.

Align the car so the headlights shine square against the wall. Slowly drive the car back and forth a bit in a straight line perpendicular to the wall. Watch to see which direction the lights appear to move on the wall.

Theoretically the main part of the beam shouldn't move up/down or sideways as the car moves back/forward. If it does, then pop the bonnet and adjust the headlight using the bolts illustrated in the photo below.
