Default headlight range

It seems the low beam range on the headlights is pretty short and I don't like to drive with the high beams on because of a lot of on coming traffic. Does anyone know of a replacement headlight that will offer increased range? My winter car - 2004 Bonneville- has a much farther range on low beams.

Look in the owners manual. My '07 owners manual describes where the location is and how to adjust.

will do, thanks a lot. I think that is something that is checked when the car goes through the annual state inspection because they have some kind of alignment lines on the back wall of the garages.
