If you know how to adjust it vertically, then just look to the Left on your Left HID and Right on your Right HID, there's a hole where you can put a screwdriver in and "turn" it but I couldn't do it. I found it but can't do anything to it

insert it at an angle that would place the top of the screwdriver right behind the low beam projector. it will stop and you should feel a slight resistance when turning it.

5 turns of the screwdriver = 1 turn of the adj wheel.
Note how many turns you did on the vertical, and do the same on the horizontal.

I feel like I wanna give up with the horizontal one and just take it back to the dealer. Why the hell did they make it so difficult for the horizontal geezzzz...

I got the vertical to work perfectly but now my light spray apart because I didn't do the horizontal...

This is from technique:

If you look on top of the adjustment screw you will see the cutout to where the horizontal adjusment screw is.



Heres another one that you can clearly see the hole.

nono, I found the holes already but I can't adjust it using my philips screwdriver with a 45 degree angle. Maybe I will just take it back to the dealer and have them do it
