Default adjusting headlights

i went on my way home and stopped at a empty industrial parking lot and shined my lights at a wall so i could adjust them, since my left one always seemed too low. so after 15 minutes of adjusing them vertically and seeing no change, i got frustrated and bent over the first light to see inside the adjuster. i happened to look back and noticed that only my passenger beam was showing, which gave me an idea. the passenger beam was straight, so i stood in front of that and looked at the driver side beam (crooked). guess what? it's not pointing too low. it's pointing exactly to where the passenger beam is. i need to adjust the horizontal, and i don't know how to adjust that. my (shitty) haynes manual points to this black stick with some kind of spring or something inside it but doesn't tell me how to use it. help! thanks.
