Yeah they are a pain to mess with. If you need most parts stores have those adjusters in the help section. Also the best way to get them to point where you want is. Pull your car up to a wall on a flat level surface. Best to have a hlaf tank of gas.  Then mark the top edge of your bumper on the wall.  Then back the car up 10 feet. (must be flat level surface) Next adjust the lights to aim at the bumper line on the wall.  This is just a baseline. Next you might want to adjust the lights to point more twards the middle. 'just to help keep the lights out of others eyes. hope that helps
