Electrical 6th gear dumb question...
Gosh Sid it was only 50 min. before you gave up.
Anyway the Xenons don't have an adjuster that I can see in the Bentley Manual or under the hood. They do have a self leveler thats supposed to keep them correct.
That said I've had an issue with one of mine doing the same thing. Turns out the housing had slipped some in the assembly from having to slam the hood. It was easy to fix by pulling out the high beam bulb and rocking the housing back into place. Might want to take a look at that. Otherwise I got nothing.
Oh wait, I should not be answering this as I'm not up to 6th gear yet.
So...[Emily Litella] Never mind [/Emily Litella]

Yes...high beam...am I right that there is NO adjustment for high beam?
I face the same problem some times as I can see that my High beam is lower than my Xenon... I noticed that if I keep the high beam on for around 30 seconds or so, the light will self adjust and go up... try it out and it might work for you. 
why it does this? I have no idea
good luck

Hi Sid,
You should be able to get higher highs if you adjust the whole housing up, via the adjustment screw on the back. What you will do is raise the whole assembly, and then the self- levelers will take care of the lows. (I'm going on intuition here, but it makes sense if you think about it). I think it is the inboard adjuster that moves them vertically.
Here's some light reading:
