Headlight Adjustment?????

This is so much knowledge on this website that I can't believe I can't find the answer on my own. But I can't so I will ask.
My headlights are much too low. I know there is supposed to be a gear that a long Philips screwdriver is supposed to fit into and the lights are raised or lowered by turning the gear.
I can't find not figure out where these 2 gears are (drivers and passengers) and how to gain access to them.
I have done this once before with a 2017 Max but I forgot how I did it. Do I gain access under the hood somewhere or do I have to take off the wheel well covers?
Anyone. Please. Pictures or videos would be a godsend.
Thanks in advance, Dave.

Thanks for the effort. I'll try again. What length screwdriver do you suggest?

I read the pdf. that dmstangu sent and understand it and I tried really hard to find the hole that leads to the gear mechanism but couldn't find it.
Do you know where the holes are that I should insert the Phillips head? Maybe the 2018 has to be adjusted from behind the wheel well? I hope not,

Did you ever find a way to adjust the 2018 headlights? My daughter just bought one and they seem so low. No adjustment screw apparently. I put brighter new bulbs but the aim is the same. High beams actually look like low beams. The car was in a small accident I was told left fender only. I’ll try and add a picture of what the lights look like from the drivers seat.
