Yes there is. The instructions are in the owner's manual.
Don't have one? Download either the complete book or just the pages you want. It is available here on this site Or from MyFord.com
Or Google 2003 Thunderbird manual.
Not certain, maybe a how to video on UouTube.
 
I have the workshop manual, it describes how the beams should look like but not how to change the position.
In the manual it says " Locate the vertical adjuster on each headlamp, then use a 6 mm allen wrench or screwdriver to adjust the headlamp up or down." but it does not specify WHERE that adjuster is....
 
I was just going to post a similar picture! That's it, it can be easy adjusted with a pair of pliers or a small crescent wrench.
 
Please, no crescent wrenches or pliers! Use a proper 6 mm socket. Note that it isn't an Allen head- it looks like an Allen wrench sticking out of the headlamp!
 
Actually the pliers worked fine. Didn't have a 6mm socket handy. It turned easily so no harm done. My headlights are new though (I just recently replaced them)
