Default How do I adjsut the headlights?

Hey guys, I have a 94 accord with projector headlights. My headlights are aimed a little too low to the front of the car so when I drive I can only see like 6 feet in front of me. I know you have to turn the screws on the back of the headlight assembly but my question is, WHICH SCREWS TURN WHAT? I believe there are 3 screws for each headlight, if not 2, can you tell me which one moves it up and down, left to right, and anything else?

Thanks a bunch, I just don't want to take off my whole front bumper to adjust and not know what to do.

park in front of a wall
get a screw driver
and see what screws control what
and dont get high hopes of ever seeing much with projectors.

there's a really long screw on the top that adjusts the entire headlamp. it could be different with your projectors, on the jdm lights there's a horizontal screw behind each reflective lens in the assembly that controls them seperately.

just do what was suggested earlier, park in front of a wall while it's dim outside and play around with the obvious suspects to see which does what. but don't aim them too high, cops love to pull people over cuz of that ****.
