About headlights adjustment.D@mn it

Hi guys!
Ok today i was trying to adjust my headlights but this canada's weather didn't give me a chance to do it 5f outside -13windchill. So i was driving at night thru the town and i couldn't find any wall that is 90degrees towards the ground level (fu cking hills all over the town ) finally i found something but it was too close to the wall(not enough space to back up) so i poped up the hood and started to spin adjustment screw wich is on top of the head light so finally i got it straight but when i started driving i figured out that my headlights aimed in one spot on the road.
My question is what screw i have to turn to get horisontal adjusment top one or bottom one.
And could you please post the link of headlights adjustment i had read that once on the forum but i can't find it now.
And how do you guys make an adjustment (may be there is another way to aim it properly cause i just cant get a straight wall)
By the way, now i get cold and high body tempreture missing the work day d@mn it

having just aimed my headlights, and having use of search:

top is horizontal, bottom is vertical

counter-clockwise (left/loosen screw) is left and lower, respectively


also, see this site for instructions. theres also instructions in your haynes manual: 12-11

the adjustment bolt is 8mm. its also plastic. if you snap it off like i did, using vicegrips is a btch, so be careful
