Lateral headlight adjustment on E92/E93

Any chance someone knows the answer to this question? I posted in the lighting thread (link and post below) a while ago but there are no responses. I read that entire thread, and several others, and cannot find the answer on how to laterally (left-right) adjust HID headlight aim on e92/e93. The vertical adjustment screw (up-down) is easy to find, but that's not what I'm asking about. Also, on e92/e93 there is NOTHING under the plastic caps in the fenders (no screws, knobs, or other adjusters).

Ok, this is nuts. I looked through this whole thread, and several others, and I cannot find the answer to this:

How do you LATERALLY (LEFT and RIGHT) adjust the headlight in the e92/e93??

There is NOTHING under the plastic cap in the fender. Does that mean these headlights do not have a mechanical lateral adjustment??

(I'm not asking about the screw for vertical = up/down adjustment; that's easy to find)

I had to adjust one of my e92 headlights left-right a while ago and eventually found the screw. Looking at the top of the headlight with the hood open there is a plastic cap right up next to the fender. If I recall correctly the cap pops off and using a philips head screw driver there is an adjustment screw a few inches down.

It's at the outer edge on the rear top of the head light. I adjusted it with the headlights removed, never attempted when they were on the car.

I had the same problem. But the adjuster IS in there. You need to angle the tool toward the exterior of the car. In other words, the top of the handle will face the center of the open hood.

Does this screw rotate the headlight laterally or move the whole light laterally?
