Default Headlamp low beam adjustment

Hi All,
First of all thanks to everyone for the previous threads on here, without you lot I would be much further behind with sorting out my new (to me) car niggles.

I'm hoping this is a simple one, how do I adjust the low beam on my 2013 XFR (250)?

The low beam is so low that it's almost useless on country roads on dark nights. They need to be raised up but I gather if you try to adjust them you can end up fighting the levelling system.

Does anyone have a straight forward guide to how to do this without getting into a right mess?

Any constructive thoughts would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Barry M

All appears to be sorted... It would appear that this leveling this was just a red herring. Inner green adjustment hexs just needed a couple of turns.

Thanks all :-)

you also have an adjustment button inside the car,

its down by your right knee and does the fog light , boot lid , interior light level and also the height adjustment for the headlights as they motor up and down ( not all functions fitted to all cars though )
