Default RE: headlight adjustment

On each headlight there are two adjusters. They are white combination hex/phillips head. If theyve never been adjusted They will have either a white or black cap on them. One is on the left side and one on the right side of the headlight. One adjusts the height and the other adjusts the aim from side to side.

Derek,
would be interested to know how it turns out with your headlight adjustments. Just a few days ago, I had the right side lowbeam lights blown out, replaced it at the dealer, had them realigned TWICE, and they still can't get it right. One side is brighter/lower. But the "top" of the light beam (if you try to align against the wall or something) it is correct....

What's the best way to self-align them? I also understand that they are not supposed to be perfectly parallel, which is ok.
