Default Headlight adjustment on active headlight system

I can't seem to find in search if there is a way to adjust the up/down aiming of the headlights. I know for the standard headlight system you need to push back the rubber fender gasket to access the hole to adjust the up/down but with active headlights I can't find/feel the adjustment with a long Philips head screwdriver. I assume there is a way to adjust the whole light assembly as I realize that the active system can level itself based on weight in the car. Has anyone done this and if so what is the trick.

Even though it mentions to adjust both low and high the same amount I don't have an issue with the high beams. I don't like the driver side low beam being cut off to shortly so I'll just adjust to get maybe another 10'. This should not be a concern with on coming cars but give me a little better visibility. Just a slight tweak.
