There is a white adjustment screw at the bottom of the back side. You will have to remove a couple of screws and clips to bend the front of the inner fenderwell enough to reach it from underneath. To reach it from above remove your headlight but it is hard to see. You will have to do it by feel.

You can only adjust up and down with the adjustment screw.

Recently I installed the yellow capsules and noticed that light was brighter... I think it is mostly due to the fact that the installation requires permanent removal of the light guards which limit the light coming out. So you can may be think about just opening the lens and removing the "guard"...

I agree with that. I have too many mods with 2 vehicles and a house to get HID's now but I was playing around and made a Frankenstien Projector / Angel eye fog. It has better light than OEM.
