By using a friendly repair shop with a beam setter. It is the only way to be totally accurate.

Thanks, but I am not so much interested in accurate as I am in just better. The lamps are clearly pointed down too much. A small adjustment is all that is needed. Just not sure where the access is to the adjustment screws?
