Yeah, pretty easy to tell which direction they're going to move when you look at the adjusters. Do it at night in front of a wall of some sort, so you can see what you changed.

If you have the headlights on and are watching where they are aiming while adjusting, the proper direction will quickly become apparent. If you have the lights off, well, that's just a bad idea.

Sometimes you gotta just experiment. Much quicker than going to the internet. You could have been done by now.

well usually righty-tighty, lefty-loosey --- so if you're moving the top adjuster and make it tighter, chances are you're going to aim the light higher up. pretty straightforward.
