ok 1 2 3 gens arent the same so here goes.. for the projector there is 2 bolts located just below where the bulb goes.. turn them like your tightin and the lights go down turn like your loosing and they go up.. the high is pretty much the same except for the fact that it has 3 bolts for some unknown reason.. 1 above where to bulb goes and 2 below.. adjustin the highs are the exact oposite of the lows so that means to go up you you tighin the bolts and to go down you loosin em.. now to do this with out takin the headlight completely out you must take the 2 bolts out that hold the lights in place and pull the lights as far foward as they will go. this will only give you about 3 inches of clearance to get your hand and ratchet in there to do it. doin it this way keeps the lights at the same angle and height that they would be as they are bolted to the car..

this help you out any?

Yea theyre a bitch to adjust.. took me like an hour or so to get the first one right. At times it didnt even look like I was moving the cutoff at all even though I had turned the bolts a couple times. Just be patient, and pray the next set of lights you ever buy has the ******* adjustments on top like the stockers.

And watch out if you push the bulb itself around too much, the tip of it can actually peek out over the projector lense and direct light over your cut off.
