Default Headlight alignment

My left front headlight is out of alignment (aimed too far to the right). I know there is a vertical alignment screw but I cannot find a horizontal alignment screw. Does anyone know what I can do to aim my headlight horizontally to the left? Are there any shim kits available? I have a 2001 Monte Carlo.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks

i do know that headlights are aimed a lil bit more to the right so you dont completely blind oncoming cars

i only thought well on mine atleast you can aim up and down, not left/right. be carefull. i would wait till spring to mess with it. i got ne headlights last month, drivers side aimed just fine, then i go for the passenger side and it broke right off. old man winters a ************ , and theres no fixing it so once again be carefull.

my lights are royaly messed up the driver side points way right and the passenger looks about right maybe a lil to the right. The light assembly is flush with the body, and i have a feeling that is the beams.

Thus im upgrading to an 8k hid kit
