Headlight adjust?

One of my headlights is aimed a tad high (obviously annoying others ). I would hate to bring it in for service just for a headlight adjustment if it is something I can do myself?

Can anyone provide some tips or guidance on if/how this adjustment should be done for these fancy adaptive lights? I suspect it goes beyond adjusting a few screws.

You suspect wrong, my friend . In fact, it's just ONE screw, and you can turn it by hand . Do a search for instructions; haven't done it myself. Hope this helps.

I see how to adjust vertically, but what about horizontally? My beams are cross-eyed when measured 25 away from a flat surface.
