Aiming high beams

My high beams seem to be totally off. Just came in, took a peak under the hood and I can't seem to find the adjusting screws for the high beam. Any help?

I would take the bulbs out and make sure they are installed correctly Maybe they are not seated right.

Or the shutters may not be opening fully.

^ do you have Bi-Xenon? Or just the normal hi-beam's... those aren't adjustable i don't think.
Bi-x's just use a screwdriver to aim them.

Bi-Xenons should be aimed with Star diagnosis. Perhaps manual levelling has made the additional halogen high beams aim differently from the Xenons high beams.
