Question Help in ES-330 headlamp alignment

I just replaced the head lamp bulbs in my ES-330. It was a bear getting the replacment lamps into the light assembly. In doing so I messed up the alignment of the headlights. Both are pointing somewhere into outers space. No where near to where they used to be. Anyone give me some tips on re-alignment of the headlights ?
Thanks-

Is your ES330 headlight projector or reflector style?

Here's the back of an ES330 projector-style headlight (driver-side):



There should be two rotary *****, one for horizontal (left/right) adjustment and the other is for vertical (up/down) adjustment. Referring to the green circles in the pic, the one next to the lowbeam projector is for vertical adjustment. If I recall correctly, rotate counter-clockwise for up and clockwise for down. The green circle next to the highbeam is for horizontal adjustment. Rotate counter-clockwise for left and clockwise for right (from the view of sitting inside your car looking at the wall).

I may be wrong with the counter-clockwise vs. clockwise, but once your do it yourself, you will find out. Just do the reverse. Also, you need a long neck Philips screwdriver to do this. Good luck.
