Default 95 Ls400 Headlight aim

I need to adjust the headlight aim on my 1995 LS400. I can't seem to find the screws used to adjust the aim. Somehow, I need to raise my fog lamps a bit, but I also need to dip my low beams a bit. But the whole unit is one, unlike the Gen 1 LS400 (two units), which is easier to adjust independently!!! I checked all the bulbs, it's not like one of them had popped out of the socket, or that the filament was deformed. The bulbs are fine. Anyway, first things first, can anyone tell me how to adjust the beam? Thanks in advance.
I need help soon, I am not blinding the oncoming driver, but I do give him a bad glare.

For your information, several sites like Sylvania, Advance Autoparts etc. list that the low beam lamp for the 1995 LS400 is a 9006. THIS IS NOT CORRECT!!! The correct low beam for the machine is a hi/lo combination bulb type H4 as stated in the owner's manual.

That's the way it's supposed to be...looking at the beam pattern from the inside of your car, the right side should be slightly higher than the left.
