Most headlights have alignment screws, for both horizontal, and vertical...

Just find the screws, and take a philips head to them...

do it when it's semi dark, and point it at a wall, maybe 2 feet away, so you can align the lights...

I think you should take it back to the place that fixed them and have them repair the allignment.

Thats what they were payed to do was fix it so that it was like nothing happened in the first place.

you could fix it yourself or just take it to the dealer

it will take em like 5 mins to do it

There is one screw for the tC, it's right on the back of the housing and is simple enough to adjust with a small socket. I would say like 9mm or 10mm or something.
