Default headlights

i jus bought new HIDs for my 96 s420 and they are noticeably unaligned. they're both in correctly and what not but i think i need to jus adjust one of them so they are both at the same height. can someone tell me how i can do this? is there a adjusting screw i need that is specifically for mercedes or is there universal one. ive seen it done on hondas but im guessing it is not the same w/ euro cars. any help would be awesome

on my 280's HID, there are very simple plastic ***** that you can turn by hand. one is for vertical aim and the other is for horizontal. owner's manual also details on "how-to".

honda's headlight adjustment is the worst i've seen. you need to insert a screw-driver blade into the gear teeth opening and move a notch at a time. what a riot!
