how to: jdm headlight beam adjustment

So I've searched and seen all the threads, but none of them show pics or talk about the jdm evo mr 8 lights. The few pics I did see didn't seem to match with the jdm mr 8's. I tried messing with different gears on the lights, and can adjust the high beams and make the low beams go lower, but not higher (yes I turned the screw the other way haha). If someone could explaine to me what makes the lowbeams raise I would greatly appreciate it. Pics would be awesome.

I took some pics now. I seriously turned every little thing on the headlight and was only able to find the high beam, and fog light adjusters. The little gear closest to the actual low beam hid projector on to adjust the lowbeam lower but not higher ( the furthest right little screw you see in the second pic). Help

I cant see the part i wanted to in those pics, Anyway..Look next to the projector area and you should see a small hole that a phillips screw driver will fit in, Put the screw driver in there and turn it, Have your lights on to see which way was what..

I wish i would of took pics of it when i had them, just couldnt take having the cutoff bean on the wrong side anymore.

So its a hole I'm looking for, not an exposed screw correct?

Yeah dude, I was cool with it for a while, but constantly getting high beamed and not being able to see the right side of the road is driving me crazy.

Anymore information or pics of the hole would be great. Can't say how much I like my headlights though, they change the whole mood of the car to me.
