Hello all,

Anyone know how to adjust the headlights low beams please?

Mine seem to be pointing too low for me

Thanks

Ok, found a listing on eBay, and I think I can see two white screws.

Does anyone know which one adjusts up and down movement?

Are you sure they aren't correct (the aim) and you're assuming something's wrong due to the adaptive features (variable light distribution aka VLD) that lowers and/or cuts off the beam closest to oncoming traffic?

You can see the multiple positions the low beams can have based on speed and traffic conditions. Since you are probably RHD...your experience will be the mirror version of what you see illustrated below which shows the light distribution for LHD adaptive LED headlights:
