Gary,
Lift this little rubber tab up.
There are two holes where you can insert your Allen key to adjust.
Top one [from memory] does low beam






With the headlight removed, you can see what you are inserting the Allen key into:

One adjuster does up/down, the other side to side. Use the bubble to level up/down, funny little graded stick for side/side.
