Headlight Alignment

Hi - Does anyone know how to align the headlights? (e.g., two 'screws' to make the headlight go up/down or left/right.)

The other night I noticed that my left headlight beam appears to be slightly higher and I'd like to move it back down. This is more noticeable at longer distances. Is this normal for it to be higher?

(At worst case, I will take the car to the dealer to have them looked at/adjusted if necessary.)

Thanks!

I am pretty sure its supposed to be like that given the fact that they are adaptive.... It should illuminate further off from the driver's side.

Figured it out - screws are at the top of the headlights and an easy fix.
