This is how to adjust 04 Optima headlights:
For all descriptions, assume that you are standing BEHIND the light assembly.
On the back of the headlight assembly you will see the bulb cover (round cover with tabs) stamped "OPEN" and an arrow showing which direction to turn to remove. Look toward the 8 o'clock position for driver lamp, 4 o'clock for passenger lamp of this cap. Partially obscured by the sheet metal you will see a black screw 3/4 exposed on the headlight assembly. It is at the edge of the sheet metal and very difficult to see, but it,s there. You may need to remove the assembly to get a better look. If needed, see below for lamp assembly removal.
How to remove the headlight: There are two 10mm bolts holding the assembly in place. One is above the headlight and the other one is between the headlight and the high beam light. Unplug the two harnesses that hook into the headlight, if needed, and it is ready to be removed the car. Gently work it out of position.
Take a Phillips screwdriver and turn the black screw - it adjusts the light vertically. Turn it counter-clockwise to make the light go up and clockwise to adjust down. Its as easy once you find the screw.
how do I adjust headlights
The adjusting screws for the low beam headlights on a 2004 Mini are on the sides of the headlights. There is a screw on the side for adjusting from one side to the other. There is also a screw on the bottom for adjusting up or down.
This car is still under warranty. If they need adjustment take it back to the dealer. Special tools are required and this is not a DIY project.

There is a screw (phillips) located next to the lo-beam housing, to the left or the right depending on which side you're going to adjust. Turn to the left and the beam will pitch upwards and to the right it will pitch downwards. Have fun ;D.
To adjust your headlights on 2005 Ford Taurus, first open the hood of your car and turn the lights on, find the headlight adjusters beneath the hood, and turn it counterclockwise to raise the beam or the other way to lower the headlight beam.
get a set of stick on beam deflectors. these deflect the beam from left to right for European contries. to adjust the light them selves you cant you would have to get a pair of European headlights for that.
look closely, two screws adjust the beam direction, and the others are used to remove the bulb... dave
High beam headlights reveal objects at a distance of at least 450 feet away. High beam headlights allow the driver to view obstacles in the road much sooner than low beam headlights.
I believe you turn your headlights on low beam and then pull out on the headlight switch
