There are 2 adjustment screws per headlamp. Take it to a body shop and have them adjust them. They will have a gauge to get them in the correct place.

Or you can do it the old fashion way pull up to fence or wall and get them straight. Take it for a spin and see if it needs any more adjustment. This has to be done in when it is dark of course. Trial and error.
