Are there no adjustment screws on the headlight trim rings?

Make sure that your tank is always full of petrol, that way, you have weight in the front.
If the above not an option, relocate the engine.

Amazing how many, even brand new cars are being driven around with incorrect headlight adjustment, not to mention fog/spot lights and even worse: rear fog lights glaring in the clearest of nights :finger4u: :x
