help aiming Xenons... (archive)

Hi all,

I recently brought my X5 to the dealer to have my xenons checked/realigned. Basically, while I was driving behind a friend, he noticed that one of my lights was pointing (up) into his rear-view mirror while the other one was pointing down.

The feedback sheet I got from the dealer said that they "aligned the lights to specs". What they *seem* to have done is point both my lights down. Now, I can barely see half a car length in front of me! In order to get home from a trip the other night, I had to drive with my fog lights on, combined with the occassional high-beam when there was no oncoming traffic or cars in front of me.

My question is - does anyone know where the height adjustment screws are for the xenons? I checked the manual and under the hood, but found no obvious screws (as in other cars I've had). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(Or should I try bringing it to another dealership?)

Thanks.
