Question halogen low beam height adjustment (2011-2012)

Hi, I have seen various threads on halogen low beam height adjustment, which involves turning a hex nut next to the headlight fixture. However, all the discussions are on the pre facelift model.

I have a 2012, and what I saw under the hood seem different. Can someone please show me if it is this yellow screw/nut that I should be adjusting?

just to follow up.
The 'yellow nut' in the picture is indeed for vertical adjustment!
All it takes is a 6mm hex wrench. Note that turning it CCW raises the light.
The driver side can be adjusted by simply popping the hood.
The passenger side has to be done through the wheel well.
The nut is amazing smooth and effortless to turn.
