C450 Static LED Headlight Adjustment

I tried searching around to see if this question has been posted, but can't find anything.

I noticed that the driver side of my static LED headlight (non-auto-leveling) is aimed higher than the passenger side. I'd like to make an adjustment to bring it down a bit. When I looked under the hood, there is a phillips-type screw behind the headlight assembly, which I did play with, but that only adjusts the left and right aim.

Does anyone know how else I can adjust the level? I suppose I could bring it in to the dealer and have them make the adjustment, but for what seems like should be a simple adjustment, I'd like to do it myself, if possible.

I want to adjust mine as they are aimed low, my SA said I could just do it myself versus paying the labor rate at the dealer. Im guessing if i want them higher, I only want to use the Height screw right? does the other one adjust how wide they reach or something?

Yes, the height screw is what you want to adjust to increase the light distance.

The other screw adjusts the left/right aim. In a sense, it is kind of like adjusting the width like you said.

Hi, can someone give me a hand with this please? I can loosen screw H however that just appears to be a screw to attach the whole light fitting, loosening that leaves the headlight loose and tightening it back up just returns the headlight distance to where it was.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
