Adjusting headlamp level?

Ok so i came across somethreads saying you can adjust the aim/level of your headlamps but i wanna clarify - is this only for projector headlights or reflectors too?

All headlights have a form of leveling.

ok i have the reflector housings. there are 2 metal screws along the top of the housing but they just seem to hold the headlight in place. then there's also a black plastic screw kind of towards the middle in a crevice sort of in the back center. I don't see any other things on the housing that look like a leveling mechanism.
