Adjusting TYC headlights? HELP!!!

I did a search and really found nothing. I know there are two screws that are behind the low beam, but how do I adjust the low beam? The left beam is too high, and I need to lower it a little. Would I have to "unscrew" both screws a little? Or do I only "unscrew" one of them? Do I tighten them? Which way lowers the beam and which way makes it higher? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

the screw on the bottom (hardest to reach) is to adjusts the low beam up and down. the one on the top adjusts the beam left-right. as for direction, i don't remember but there should be a diagram on the headlight that shows clockwise or counter-clockwise. if your not sure, just play around with it and look how the beam is moving on a wall or your garage door as you are turning.

There are screws? My right (passenger) side hi-beam lens is knocked back into the headlight casing, anyone ever have that? I'm probably going to end up having to dismantle the entire assembly and fix it, which sucks ..

But I say again, what screws ??

When I put my TYC's in, it took me 45 minutes adjusting the headlights before I got them how I wanted it.

What my friend and I found out was this.

1. one of the screws moves the light down and left

2. the other screw moves the light down and right.

So, you have to turn both screws to move it up, down, left, or right.

IT"S A PAIN IN MY A$$ ...........but my lights are perfect now.
