Default Headlight Alignment Adjuster for Left~Right???

Where do I look for the Alignment Adjustment for the Headlights. I found the Up / Down one easily enough and a Nut Driver fit to make the Adjustment. Now I need to bring the Driver Side Beam a little bit to the LEFT and the Passenger Side over to the Right a touch.

I looked around down in there with a flashlight and didn't see anything that looked like the Adjustment ... I know the Beams have to have an adjustment down in there, somplace.

Where is it and what does it look like???

all i've ever seen on my 2000 is vertical adjustment, i've been thinking i'll tweak one of the mounts in the body to adjust my driver side slightly left though.

Yea ... Tha't what it looks like for me; too. The Height adjustment is easy. The L-R alignment looks like the Heaadlight assembly needs to be pulled and an adjustment wheel not accessible with the Headlamp in place given a tweak or two. I'm going after it. It's really bothering me not to have the Beams right out inn front of me instead of off to the right so much!

i can also tell you that others will hate this but raise your headlights a small amount.
so tha thtey are aimed higher then they are in the stock location. This will help with the bad lighting these cars have that seems to be a big complaint around here also.
