The adjustment screws are easy to find under the hood. There are two allen wrench head (metric) screws on the top of each headlight housing, that can be readily seen once the hood is open. From other postings I read on this, it is important to turn both screws together.
As I was experimenting with different settings, I wanted to make sure I could return to the prior setting. To do this I mounted a piece of white poster board on the side of a box that I placed 12 inches in front of each headlight, with the car level in my garage. With the Xenons on, I used a marker on the poster board to note the top cut-off line of each of the headlights. After each adjustment I noted the new top-cutoff line. As I mentioned in my first post, after my third adjustment upward, I was beginning to annoy oncoming drivers, so I used my poster board markings to enable me to return to my second adjustment point.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
