Behind the headlight you have an Alan key shape adjust for height and nod for kick up

Headlight adjustment requires specialized tools.

Turn on your headlights and locate the two adjustment holes that have the adjustment screws inside them on the sides of each headlight. The top hole has the vertical adjustment screw and the bottom hole has the horizontal adjustment screw. Turn the vertical screw clockwise to raise the beam and counterclockwise to lower; turn the horizontal screw clockwise to move the beam right and counterclockwise to move the beam left.

The best way to do it is to park your car in front on a garage door, a building or put a piece of plywood in front. Whichever you use, park you car at least 10 feet away; so you can tell if you are going up, down or in the middle when adjusting.

1. Remove the four screws that secure the headlight trim bezel to the grille.
   
2. Remove the headlight trim bezel.
   
3. Turn the headlight high beams on.
   
4. Adjust the headlights. Use the adjustment screws located along the outboard side and the inboard lower corner of the headlight bucket. Adjust the headlights until the beams are centered directly on the wall.
   
5. Replace the headlight trim bezel.
   

• Always adjust lights with optical headlight aimer VAS 5107, using detailed aiming procedure and specifications
• Low and high beams are adjusted simultaneously.

Left headlight (adjustment screws for right headlight are mirror image):
1 - Lateral adjustment 2 - Height adjustment

• Access adjustment screws through hole in lock carrier (Phillips head or socket head).
• Turn the adjusting screws for lateral adjustment -1- and height adjustment -2- until the correct setting is achieved.

NOTE: Where equipped, ensure equal movement/function of headlights during automatic headlight range adjustment.

With the headlights up, there should be a top screw, back into the headlight assembly and one on the left. Turn them in or out changes the adjustment of the headlight.

There are two adjustment points (screws). For example left headlight: you will see one point near the end of left wing, at bottom side through a wing hole. This is for vertical plane headlight beam adjustment (up-down). Another one point is against water radiator side. This is for horizontal plane headlight beam adjustment (left-right).

I had a similar problem on my 04 expedition. I just bought it and the headlights were aiming too far down. A rather larger gap was noticeable between the headlight and the hood. The so called adjustment bolt did nothing. I removed the headlights and found 2 issues. On the adjustment bolt there is a washer. Make sure when you re-install the headlight the washer sets on top of the plastic slot and is visible when looking down behind the headlight. Without the washer being in the correct location it will not tighten the headlight in place.
Second I found the adjustment bolt adjusted nothing. It merely tightened the headlight in place. What I had to do was to loosen this bolt and physically move the headlight into place and the re-tighten the bolt. Hence the slot is the adjustment. Turning the bolt CW or CCW did not move the headlight.
I tried several things trying to figure why the lights would not move until I realized I could move the light with my hands and tightened them in place using the adjustment bolt.

This may not be your issue but I found the owners manual instructions to be useless.

I assume you are talking about a vertical adjustment.

If so Easy enough. Park the car about 25 feet from a wall or so. This is normal range for adjustment. Turn on your low beams.

Now Pop the hood and take a look at your headlight On You will see a black rubber bump stop. This is used to adjust your hood height.

Right behind that you will see a area where you can insert a screw driver into. Turn that with the screw driver and the headlight vertical angle will change
