Aiming Headlights

Havent posted in awhile, well got the car back after the accident with a new set of lights. The driver side is definately aimed too far to the right or down..because there is a blackspot and its not as far out ahead as the passenger side. Is there a way anyone knows of to aim HID lights yourself or do I have to go to the dealer again?

Oh, sorry.

If it's anything like the 5.5 gen, behind the headlight there should be a couple of plastic sprockets that you can turn clock/counterclockwise to adjust the beam.

A lot of the pictures are gone, but the first image should help you figure it out.

There is a screw on there that you turn left or right, but my question is there is a plastic cap type thing what does that do if anyone knows?
