Default Need Help Adjusting Headlamps

I have a '94 Honda Accord and am trying to adjust the headllamps. I can find the screw that adjusts the up and down movement of the light but cannot locate the adjustment for the side to side movement. Can you help?

This is going to be difficult to discribe without pictures, but I'll give it a try.
Adjustments can be performed with a long shank phillips screwdriver (9" to reach the lower (Side to Side) adjuster)
Adjustments to the left side are easy(er)
Adjustments to the right (lower) require removal of the radiator overflow to gain access.

The bottom adjuster looks like a square box which protrudes out the back of the headlamp near the bottom, almost directly aligned under a 1/2" hole on the top of the Radiator Support. With a flashlight, if you look directly into the top of this, you'll see a toothed wheel. You rotate that wheel in/out using the blades of your Phillips Screwdriver. That adjusts the headlamp side to side..

The top adjuster looks like a 3/8" (head diameter) phillips screw which is mounted horizontally. This adjusts the headlamp up/down
