They are adjusted from behind. Not realy sure how to walk you throught but you have to remove than and adjust the screws from behind. There will be 3 screws that hold them in place. 2 of the screws are poped off and 1 you have to remove a small metal plate that keeps the screw head from going throught the headlight grill. Why do you want to adjust them anyway?

on my 94 there is a plastic cover that covers the front like 4inches of the engine bay right above the headlights and the radiator. on the far sides of that plastic cover there is a screw that holds down the covers. you need to unscrew them and then the plastic covers will fold up and out of the way so you can get to the headlights. then once you are there the headlight is held in place with 3 plastic bolt like things. by spinning these plastic tabs you can adjust the headlights' positioning. its held by 3 bolts; one where the headlight narrows down close to the pony emblum that is left and right and two bolts next to the directional light that controls up and down positioning.
thats really as good as i can verbally explane it. i changed my headlights so thats how i know. if u need more help i can pm u a picture with what in talking about. im assuming that the 94s and 96s are the same. just pm me if needed

Alright, I found the adjusters. But, I used a socket on them and the light didnt move. Do I need to take the whole headlight out?
