Question HID low beam adjustment

I have noticed that my HID low beam is a little off on the driver side.
I'd like to be able to adjust this myself (is it easy?) but the owners manual says to take it in to the dealer. The beam needs to be adjusted just slightly up. It seems perfect on the passenger side but you can notice the difference as the beam "dips" down towards the driver side. Thanks for any suggestions.

its not the drivers side, both lights have that pattern, its there to prevent the lights from blinding people in the oncomming traffic.
next time it gets dark park near a wall and walk in front of the drivers and passengers lights blocking the light and you will see what i mean

That is the way it's supposed to look, so it does not blind oncoming drivers.
