Aiming xexon headlights

Good evening all. I picked up an 06 5AT this past weekend. I have an ESM and see where to adjust the headlights but would like a suggestion what tool use adust the **** with. I have attempted a thin flat head screwdriver, a thin metal pick and even resorted to unraveling a coat hanger.
I am not attempting to ride around blinding other drivers but I feel like they could a little higher than they are. I searched and could not find any relevant info. Thank you in advance and I am sure I will have a few other questions since I already have the mod bug for a car I swore I not alter.

I agree with you. Lights are about 5-10 yards lower than they should be. I have 05 AT.... but have not tried adjusting them yet.

Use a phillips (cross) screwdriver. Should fit and it is what is used to adjust our headlight's height

I will give it another go tonight. I was just afraid of pushing it too hard and the adjuster spinning too quickly.

I will take a pic of the adjustment but I can tell you there will not be much detail. The esm is an electronic service manual that is .pdf format. Some people sell copies off them ebay but you can search around google and find people that host them as well.

I think I would get a quick ban if I posted it here. There have been a few sites that go up and down with hosting every nissan and infiniti vehicle. The size of just the 06 sedan esm is a 77mb winrar file.

I tried again last night with a metal pick that has a flat end on it. I can get at the adjusting wheel but I cant get it to budge. I am afraid if I put too much force then its going to point the headlight to the sky.

I will get a pic of it as soon as I get my camera back. I probably would leave it alone if I had the bi-xenons like the coupe but I want the headlights aimed a little higher for visibility and to break the beam away from the H4 fog light.
