This sounds like a lot of work but it works and once setup makes it very easy to get it right.

I had trouble working out my GU adjusters too but you need to use a wall so you can see which screws moves what light in which direction. Works a treat.

Strange, link seems to be down although it was up yesterday.

The adjustment is 2 white wheels behind the lights, as you look down from the top. The are like gear cogs, one side free spins to to stop the screwdriver slipping off and the other side spins the adjustment screw. You'll see how it works when you give it a go.

Or viewing the light from the outside there will be 3 philps head screws around the perimeter with just enough of a gap to to get the screwdriver into these will adjust each light.

yes i had and still do have the same problem , i even upgraded my loom and globes , but the lighting is still pi$$ weak i tried adjusting them one night on a flat road etc , but i thought they were all good but it seems it was just my eyes adjusted to the dark enviroment i need a wall , cause as they are they are pretty useless.

From Gregory's-------position vehicle 5 mt from wall ,square and level, tyre pressures etc. draw lines at same level and centre of lights on wall. With low beam, lights cutoff should be 63 ( !!!!!!! ) mm below centre and point of upward raise on or left of centre of light beam. From the picture the adjustment screws are on top of light housing.
