Default Headlight adjust????

I need some help with the headlight alignment on my 08 Ram. I installed a drop kit from Ground Force 2 1/2 front and 4 1/2 rear and now my headlights are in the back of peoples heads instead of the road. How do we adjust the beams lower?

Have a look here. It's the torex screw half way up on the grill side of each head light.

I thought so as well but they are for the up & down. I put HIDs in mine so I had to turn them down 2.5 turns.

Ah, that's what I did wrong, or didn't notice. I look around for something to adjust on mine, and couldn't figure out what to adjust. I've forgotten to ask about this, so thank you for asking. However, I have just the opposite problem. My lights couldn't spot the bumper of a truck 50 foot in front of me. Everyone who has ridden in my Dodge has noticed that it doesn't project far ahead, even with the brights on.
