There should be an adjusting screw on the bottom on the housing somewhere on the 04 I think. The 08 only has one in the side near the grill.

LXman1 is right. On the bottom of the housings and in between the housing and the top of the bumper, there is a (10mm maybe) bolt you can turn in one direction to lower or raise. I use my 1/4" ratchet and about a 9" extention. Do it at night so you can see where you are going and what direction you are moving it in.
