There are four bolts that you can loosen to adjust them, you move the entire assembly to give you a hint.

Unfortunately it is alot easier without the front Facia. What you will have to do is get a 10mm socket and loosen them. You might have to go as far as installing some shims under the bracket to get things to work right. Turn on your headlights and adjust, and turn off your headlights to see if it aligns right. Repeat till it looks the way you want it to. You can also wind them by hand.
