I had the same problem as well but heres a picture and where you can screw to adjust your headlights.

you see the yellow circles, thats where you turn in order to adjust your lights. I cant remember which one is which but i believe the screw towards the grill is how wide you want and the one towards the corner signal light is to adjust up and down. hope it helps

Just FYI: I have a 2010 with OEM HID adaptive headlights.

Screw ?1? for height adjustments is present. Screw ?2? for lateral is not. Screw ?2? is covered and not accessible.

Perhaps this is because of the adaptive feature on the 2010 OEM Xenon lights.
