This is not too hard. Just study the gap and see what way it needs to move. Next wind the headlight up by hand (on the end of the actuator is a wheel. Just wind it all the way up). Take off the black plastic headlight surround by removing the phillips screws (4 I think). The top of the headlight is a cover with 4 or 5 torx head screw in it. This is where you start the adjustments. Try to adjust the gap by first loosening the torx screws and moving the cover. Wind downt he headlight and check the gap. Repeat as necessary.

If that does not fix it, then the cover must come off and there are white adjusting nuts that have more adjustment play in them than just the cover. Adjust, refit, test. Repeat as necessary.

This is a very tedious job, but the results will be worth it (at least in your eyes).
