E92 lateral headlight adjustment

I wanted to make a quick description of where to find the left/right adjustment for e92 headlights. After searching and reading I found one thread that mentioned it but even still had trouble figuring it out.

On the leading corner of the fender (where the hood covers) there is a plastic cap just aft of rectangular clip and forward of a round hole. If you are missing the cap, it's an oval hole.

About 3" down, and away from the engine, is the adjuster, it is a hex key, I believe it is the same size as the vertical adjuster.

My main issue was the hex divot on the adjuster was full of road sediment. It helped to blow it out with an air compressor.

Ultimately I used a flat head, it gets through the sediment.

Finally, it's much easier to see adjustments if the opposite headlight is covered, and you do it at a decent distance.
