Default Headlight adjustment

New here. I hope I am not asking a question that has been asked 100 times before, I searched the forum and didn't see anything.

I bought an 08 Magnum RT with the headlight upgrade. The left headlight retained water in the housing and was replaced by the dealer. I am now experiencing that the left headlight on low beam is down and slightly right from where it was.

Is there anyway to adjust the headlights without taking half the front end off? I can't see any way to adjust the headlight. Is this something a "normal" person can do, or is it time for a trip to the service center?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

According to the service rep, the only adjustment on the 08 is up and down. This is with the special headlight package. He at first assumed that it was the same as the 08 Charger, but when the information he gave me was not correct; I took the Magnum to the dealer. He looked at it and discovered that it was different.

On the 08 there is a small lever just behind the brace for the radiator that has U and D that you insert a screw driver in to adjust the headlights up and down.

Thanks for the reply sask_cruiser!

Does anyone have any experience with the special headlight package?

On this topic,

Does anyone know how to change the small front corner light bulbs. They are amber and tucked away in the side of the head light.

The owners manual shows how to change all the bulbs, except these. It simply says take it to the dealer.

Any Ideas ?
