2013 HID Headlight Adjustment screw?

Sorry, did a search but have not come up with what I need.

Where is the adjustment screw?
I thought it was on the top, but there is not a phillips head adjusting screw in that spot.
The manual has a picture but it is not helping.
I do not need help with the procedure, just the location of the screw.
Thanks

It's not a Phillips screw, it is a star wheel (accessible through a round access hole) that you can rotate using a #2 Phillips screw driver. But be careful, you can grind off the (nylon) teeth on the wheel if you don't mesh the teeth properly or turn it too far.

Is that hole on top of the light?

Thanks gone.

The hole on the top of the light looked like the pic in the manual but your explanation of the star wheel was the ticket. Just got dark enough to adjust.
Thanks again.

I used a flat blade screwdriver so I could see the teeth that I was turning. Phillips screw driver does not work.
