Default Adjusting headlights?

98 A8 with the HID's and the drivers side light is aimed too low. What is the procedure to aim the light? Thanks.

Also how do you remove the HID light? Someone installed a blueish kiddie looking one on the left and I'd like to put a stock bulb/unit on that side.

Little white plastic gear on top of light housing (toward radiator)is horizontal adjustment...phillips head or 6mm allen.
Remove black cap on metal brace (lock carrier) above headlight, the one closest to the fender..vertical adjustment is through the hole...phillips or 6mm.

Bulbs are changed through the big cap(s)on the back of the headlight housing...low beam is held in by spring clip....high beam lamp housing turns clockwise to unlock and pulls out.
