xenon headlamp adjustment

Does anyone know how to adjust the xenon headlamps on the SLK55? The right headlamp beam is way too high. At night, I feel like I'm blinding everyone. Opening the hood, I see a few screws that seem to be for adjustment. I appreciate anyone's input.

If it is a factory fit then take it to the dealer for correction. There is also an autolevelling system which may need attention.

If you have lowered your car then I would look at that as being the cause.

It's not factory installed xenons. I bought them from Steve and he installed it for me. It doesn't have auto-leveling. Is there any way for me to adjust them myself?
