Default how to adjust headlights in C5

I just replaced my headlights with projectors on my c5. After the install, i noticed the right side is aimed very high up. Can any of you tell me how this can be adjusted so its the same height as the left?

Thanks!

the headlight adjustment rods are the long brass rods you see sticking out..turning those will move the light up/down or right/ left

Now you know where the adjusters are, I'd recommend you just take the headlight apart again and disassemble the adjusters, clean the threads on the screws, lube them with antisieze and make sure they spin freely before re-assembly. You can see the pic saying to just lube them but those threads get so dirty that nothing short of a wire wheel or a die will clean them enough you won't break the adjuster rod.
