Default Adjusting HID (low beam) headlight

Hi all,
I have a 2007 Lexus GS 350 AWD whic I replaced the HID headlights. I think the owner's manual does a pretty bad job on explaining the headlight aim. It refers to 2 adjustment bolts (A and B) that are not marked on th diagrams.
Assuming each (driver & passenger) side has a set of 2 bolts, is bolt A the one with a wheel with notches next to it ? Where is bolt B ?
It also says that you use bolt A for both horizontal and vertical position !!! How can you adjust the vertical and horizontal aiming using the same bolt ?
I have read other posts on this forum (IS 350), but still can't figure it out. Anyone has some clarification on these ?
Thanks in advance.

You need a ridiculously long screwdriver to adjust vertical. I think the screwdriver i have has a 26 inch shaft. Your slide the screwdriver in and the channel kind of guides you.

Your looking to adjust screw 2 for vertical. This diagram isnt for the 3g, but your screwdriver will point in the similar direction (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...p-capture3.jpg)

I also recall a notch in fender/hood. I'll take a photo tomorrow if it still doesn't make sense.
