Ok, apparently a Volvo dealership doesn't know how to adjust headlights. First they pointed the left one into the beam of the right one. Their fix for that was to point the left on straight to the ground (may as well have been burnt out.) The dealer fix for that after my complaint was to adjust the right one to match the left so now the both straight to the ground. You have to lean way over the steering wheel to even see that they are on. The only source of illumination is to drive with the brights on which "almost" simulates regular headlight adjustment. Help I almost can't drive at night. Can I adjust these myself or is this one of those mysterious dealer things.

In the really old cars, pre 2001, there were two adjustment knobs between the headlamp bulb holders - one for horizontal and one for vertical adjustment. Both plastic adjusters had fittings for a phillips screw driver to help you turn them.
For adjustment, you will need a wall with 25 feet of level space in front of it for your car. Park your car with the bumper touching the wall. Then draw a line on the wall, or piece of paper taped to the wall, that shows the bright horizontal line. Back up 25 ft. The new line should be about 1 inch below the one on the wall. Adjust accordingly.
