97 geo prizm headlight adjustment

I'm hoping someone has done this. I spent time looking for the vertical headlight adjustment screw both physically and through the haynes manual. Both low beam and daylight lights are lower on the driver side. Any help would be great.

so is the location of the adjustment screw the black plastic hole towards the fender on the headlight housing, where you can see triangle teeth connected to the treaded screw? sorry if my description sounds stupid, but thats the best way i can describe it.

yes, theres 2 tho. one adjusts height and the other aims side to side. the inner adjustments (towards the center of the car) move the height and the outer (towards the tires) aim side to side. you'll want the drivers headlight straight ahead and a little lower than the passenger side which can be a little higher ans sweep light to the passenger side to illuminate things to the side of the road.
