Default How do you adjust JDM HID headlights?

Beampattern for Lowbeam...? I can't get a tool down into the location- am in the right area? I see a small bracket with curved arrows that says Up and Down. There are two 3/8" nuts next to it- Is this it? Or is it this funky small nut with a cookie cutter style washer?

Thank you fellow JDM'ers

no those aren't the screws...it's kinda like a little wheel with teeth..it's located slightly below that black black bracket... its kind of in the middle of the headlight (heightwise).
i guess i'ts hard to explain.. but a standard phillips screwdriver should fit fine in both areas
i would post pics if i had some

Is it below the two 3/8" bolts? How do I measure the height? Is their a formula, like from 10 feet away from a wall...?

Just adjust the dial with the headlights on, its extremely easy. I believe its a 5/16".

Park 10feet in front on a flat surface. Adjust the beam pattern so it is level/slightly lower than your headlights. (i.e.) you want your headlights nearly parallel to the groud.

I love mine and I don't think I would ever buy another car with HID headlights. Btw I have a set for sale if you are looking to upgrade.
