AE86 Headlight!!!!

Hey all, I just installed me a new passenger headlight to replace one with a crack in the lense. But it seems like the headlight is adjusted to blind all the monkies in the trees O_o
The new passenger light beam is aimed higher then the driver side's one, so I'm guessing there's some sort of adjusting feature in these headlight that I was unaware beforehand. I'm guessing it has something to do with the 2 screws on the top of the headlight.
Here's a pic of the screws:
So does anyone know what each screw does when adjusted (either clockwise or anti-clockwise, when looking at teh pic)? I've tried playing around with them but I dont see any change, but I may be adjusting them wrong or not enuf.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

cant remember which one does which
but i adjusted mine a while ago by parking my car near a wall
and then adjusting the beam accordingly
a lot of the adjuster screws are broken on headlights so u may have to put up with it

Passenger side. Bought it for $70. It's just an oz-spec light with no hole in the lense, so I bought it ^_^

Have you tried using washers on the mounting points to adjust the angle, also double check the globe is fitted properly with the holding mechanism in place properly.
Thought a few ideas might help ya.
Cheers
Steve
