I just replaced one of the headlight units on my S70, but it's not aimed correctly (too high). Are there any adjustment that I can make, or do i need to take it to a shop?
Thanks in advance.

if you know the specific angle for it yup you can DIY on the wall your self, otherwise you need to go to shop that have inspection headlight angle to do so.

Aim it on a wall, those large round knurled knobs are the adjustment knobs

My 1998 S70 has a bubble level built into it for height adjustment, open the hood and look at the top of the assembly; it may have one. I believe an Allan key turns the adjustment on the top of the headlight. I have mine set at 0 degress I believe, essentially that means the beam shouldn't go above the height of the headlight unit; with the exception of the high beams.
