B-A-R How do i adjust them Where are .these philips head screws i need to find To aim them properly

What kind of bullshit is that. What if i dont feel like making and appointment dropping off my vehicle for a day and then picking it up and paying them to do it. Does BMW think we are stupid. I just want to know how to do it myself.
By the way do you think tjey will charge me or will this be covered under warranty since i changed the headlights myself.
If you open your hood and look from the top of the headlight assembly, there should be two plastic knobs (mine are white) with an indentation for your phillip screwdriver. One of the knob is for adjusting the horizontal position and the other is for the vertical position (I can't remember which is which...but you should be able to see your headlight aim position change as you turn those knobs. I did have to take several tries to get them aiming properly.

The adjustment knobs are circled on the attached picture, which was taken on the passenger side.
