How do I adjust my HID's up?

I lowered my car and would like to aim the HID's back up so that they are back to where they were before lowering. Is it the white plastic screw on the back side of the headlight towards the center of the car? If so which way do I turn in to aim up?

There is a small screw that needs to be adjusted relatively deep to the side of the headlights. I posted a pic of it at some point in another thread. I'll take a look for it and post it in a bit.

Sorry, couldn't load the pic but look at my gallery (it's the only image there) and you'll see the grey screw that needs to be moved to raise/lower the lights. Be careful as a quarter turn will make a big difference.

I found you pic in another post NJ. Do I turn clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust up?

I believe it's clockwise. I pointed the car at a garage door, at about 30 feet away to get an idea of how much they were going up.
