Lightbulb Headlights...several mechanics and no solution!

I do not know how to adjust them, and since an accident years ago my driver's side lamp doesn't point correctly.

Several mechanics, none know how. Time to go to Lexus!

Default

There is a metal hex headed (about 10mm) shaft and a black hex headed shaft. One does the side to side and the other does up and down. The metal one is silver and all of the way to the outside of the car just in front of the airbox or battery. The black one is on the back of a calibrated clear plastic cylinder directly behind the leveling bubbles but also in the engine compartment. The high beams have similar adjusters but are in the nose in front of the radiator.

Default which is which???

I saw the black one last nite, and didn't fool with it. I think I need to lower my beams,...I noticed my bubble a good bit forward of the 0 marker. When my fog lamp was burned out,... I drove with both off, and didn't think I was gettin' enough light to the ground.

What is the the correct setting? Dead center at "0" I would imagine?
