Adjusting dipped beam

Hey, does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the 'rotation' of the Xenon beams?

I've got an 320d E92 (Jan 08 build). I'm able to raise/lower the beam no problem but I don't know how to adjust the rotation of the beam. On my car with dipped beam, the left beam is rotated a bit too much anticlockwise which means that I don't get enough light on the nearside and the light goes higher out wide towards the oncoming traffic. Thanks!

how do you adjust the beam's height?

I've got an 07 build (pre ED) and the lights seem set far too low. I thought it was just a BMW thing, but now im thinking its maybe been set low.

In the top of each light unit there's a white plastic hex socket 5 or 6mm, this moves the beam up/down
