How to aim the headlights up & down

I found the screw adjustment to aim the headlights left to right but did not see any way to adjust them up or down.

Can someone help with this one??

Thanks

ill take a stab at this one. I have morettes on an 01 rs and there are plastic wingnuts that you spin to angle the light. Back your car 20 feet away from a wall and make sure the beam comes to you waist or lower. Take a good look, they arent easy to find on my lights...and they still arent angled properly!

I also have a 03 WRX wagon. If you found visible screws (phillips head, pointing down) to adjust the lights, they are for UP and DOWN adjustment.

The right - left adjustments are hidden and covered by a rubber cap. These screws are hidden (recessed) in the housings and are the screws are "pointing" towards the front of the car. I found them using a small mirror. I then used tweezers to pull the rubber cap off to reveal the adjustment screws (also phillip head). The manual says the vertical adjustment is not "adjustable".

I forget which way CW/CCW resulted in right-left adjustment. I think CW moved my right light off the shoulder and more onto the road.
