Icon2 How to aim/adjust 5th gen headlights?

Hey guys, i was wondering if anyone had pictures of what exactly i need to adjust to aim my headlights down?

I found a little gear like object that says "L/R" but im not sure where the ****/screw is to Lower my headlight beam.
I've read up some threads, some say i use a philips screw, some say an 8mm socket. Is there anyone with an idea/ picture of what exactly does the correct adjustment ****/nut looks like? thanks

I actually just adjusted my 5th gen headlights Friday. I had to use two sizes of phillip screw drivers. On each headlight the top adjuster is the bigger size phillips and the bottom is the smaller. I dont have pictures, sorry. Takes seconds to adjust. Just put the screw driver at 90 degrees into the hole with the plastic gear looking teeth. Turn either L/R to adjust. If I remember the upper gear is for adjusting the headlight left and right and the lower gear is to adjust up or down.

There is a bubble level built into the 5th get lights, use it. Use a phillips head screwdriver to move the gear until the bubble is level with 0.
