There are 2 adjusting screws, one does vertical and the other horizontal aim. They are accessed with a long screwdriver . You can see the LHS one under the instrument binnacle on the bottom LH corner of the rectangular headlight unit. The upper RHS one you have to feel for. The instructions are in chapter 1 of the Haynes manual.

Hi Joe
Some years ago when I first joined this forum, I had a problem with the headlight which turned out to be the adjuster post broken inside the headlight unit. As replacements were hens teeth I found that it was piossible to open up the supposedly sealed unit using a scalpel. The broken mounting was then accessable to araldite back in position and I reassembled the unit with plumbers silicone.
This was the post, but I'm sorry the photos aren't there any more.
