R53 OEM Driving Light Adjustment?

Can anybody tell me how to adjust the R53's OEM driving lights? My right-hand light shines a few feet closer to the car, and I'd like to raise it a little.

I searched the forums and could not find any how-to guides for the R53 OEMs. Worse than that, I found a post from someone who tried to adjust his OEMs and broke the mount in so doing! I want to get this right the first time, so I'd appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

If you look at the underside of each driving light, there's a single nut. If you loosen that, you can tilt/swivel the driving light left/right and up/down.

Once you have it where you want it, tighten the nut back up. Be aware that tightening the nut can change where the light's aimed, so hold the light firmly in place while you tighten the nut, and re-check the alignment after you're done.
