are u talking about those silver things that look like a nut and bolt..? cause i dont see an actual KNOB? really appreciate the help from anyone...

That'd be my guess. I know on hondas theres a little 5/16th that you just loosen and tighten and it moves the headlight up and down. I'd suggest finding a big wall on flat ground and park about 10-15 feet from it while adjusting.
