It's hard to describe, but look for the only 10mm bolt head on the back of the headlight housing under the hood. You'll need a short wrench or one hell of a swivel. It's easier to find the one on the driverside in front of the battery. Turn your headlights on and park in front of a wall (about 3-4 feet) while making small turns on the bolt head. You'll see the beam move slightly U or D.

Green arrow - controls up or down

Orange - side to side. (can be reached with a screwdriver).

Go to Home Depot or Sears and pick up one of those flexable bit extensions (12 incher...) I attached it to my cordless drill and it worked like a charm. This wil save you a lot of time and pain.
