I'll bet your aiming mechanism has become disconnected from the reflector inside of the headlight and the reflector has dropped out of proper position. That happened to the headlight on the passenger side of my wife's '97 900SE. The reflector goes way out of adjustment and the light shines down toward the road in a cockeyed direction. You can either replace the headlight ($$$) or take the cheap route like I did...
Remove the headlamp housing and take off the lens. In one of the upper corners you'll see where the top adjuster mechanism connects to the reflector; it slips into a groove in the plastic. You can remove/loosen the adjuster by turning the locking ring (plastic with two little tabs) 1/4 turn to release it. Then you have some manuever room to try and slip the mechanism back into the groove. Put everything back together, and aiming is fixed.
I think these things pop out due to slamming the hood. I fixed this thing about 3 times before finally slathering the groove attachment with some glue to just keep the thing in there. So far so good.
