    After having the recall done on our '05 Prius I noticed that our HID headlights point down way too much. I don't know if the recall had some effect or I just noticed it afterwards. I don't believe it's related to the auto-magic leveling as it's consistent with various loads distributions within and outside (hitch bike rack) the car.

    Can a DIYer aim the headlights? Is there some description of the procedure somewhere?

    You should have the auto leveling sensor checked out. My headlights were pointed low for a long time and then one day the dashboard warning went on. Had the sensor replaced and wow what a difference!

    Yes, it could be that your level adjuster is the culprit
