How to adjust headlights?

So the car that I purchased happens to be a salvage G35. Got a great deal on it. One thing that I have noticed is that one headlight beam is higher and the other is a little lower. I heard they are automatic, but is there any adjustments manually?

the drivers side light SHOULD be lower than the passenger. It's to prevent blinding incoming traffic.

^ Or to allow the flare to light up road signs which are usually on the right side in The States, while headlights flare towards the left in Japan for the signs.

I agree that the driver's side should be lower so I'm guessing your lights are adjusted just fine.
But if you do want to do any adjusting then it isn't like the DIY Eric posted, the 2nd gen sedan has 2 small white tabs inside the fenderliner (behind the front bumper) near the HID bulbs which can be twisted to raise/lower the beam.

The right one is almost blinding from a certain distance. I'm pretty sure it needs to drop a little. Are those 2 tabs visible or do I have to remove a cover to see them? It was a little late when I was looking at the car and my damn bulb went out on my work light so I didn't really see them. Appreciate the help.
