adjusting headlights - projecter style replacements

Ok, so this topic should be totally worn thin by now, but one more question - which screw does what on the projecter style lights? There is three adjustment screws, one of which causes the low beam to rise/lower, but unsure of the operation of the other two. The other night I adjusted the low beams so they throw light out a little further, but I'd like to see if I can adjust the spread of the lights.

I would love to know this too, I would like to take it to ccautos and get them to do it but that will have to wait awhile so in the mean time I would like to at least get the beams angled down onto the road instead of up into the sky.

There are 4 adjusters, 2 for high beam, 2 for low beam. They adjust up/down and left/right.

When I had some servicing done at Marigold they adjusted my lights as well. Ray says its easy to breakthe adjuster gear (smallplastic bit inside) if you push too hard on the adjusting screw. He recomends using a nut driver instead of a philips driver. He keeps the adjusters from the jap lights he changes out for inspections for replacements.(Somebody wrecked mine trying to change a bulb,don't know who

)

I noticed on mine that the adjusters on the aftermarket lights were pretty weak, I've already replaced 1 of them with the adjustment mechanism from the factory lights, seem to be much higher quality
