How to adjust STi headlights?

Due to the RHD make of my STi headlights, the beam pattern irritates other drivers. (and they're too frickin high as well)

i was looking around back there and didn't see anything like what the USDM lights have as far as a leveling adjuster. i'm pretty sure the JDM lights have electric headlight height adjusters, so can someone explain to me how to adjust these damn things before i take the whole damn thing apart.

and on another note, one of the projector light assemblies (the one on the left headlight) is not lined up with the "tunnel" that the light is supposed to go through. do i need to take the thing apart to fix this? and will somebody just trade me their EDM LHD lights so I can forget about this crap.

oh and quoc, i know you're begging to weigh in on this, so have at it.

and for the record, i didn't put those POS lights on my car. the previous owner did. anyone who knows me knows that i would never spend much money on appearance mods, let alone a set of lights that cost $700 new!! give me a break. i feel like a jackass driving my car sometimes because it looks good but isn't that fast in a straight line. (i will kill you in the twisties though )
