Headlight adjustment?

I have a 99Tl and I need to adjust my driver side headlight.
The low beam seems to be the problem.
Can someone post a picture that would show the adjusting screws or mechanism for this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

there should be a bolt in between the high beams and low beams, it's a 10mm and you just turn it one way or the other. Should be the only bolt visable if your looking at the back of the housing.

check for the letter U or D and go opposite direction- up makes the beam go down
there are super fine teeth on a plastic wheel- thats what you are adjusting so it may take a while to go very far

Just put new housings in my car, so its pull up to the garage door at night and keep turning!
If it wont turn- you're at limit of wrong direction!
