Default XJS headlight aiming

Hello, does anyone know how to adjust the headlights on a pre-facelift XJS? I have the euro-style headlights with the wipers on them. I can't seem to see an adjustment screw anywhere. Do the bezels need to be removed to aim the headlights? Do the wipers need to be removed the remove the bezels. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction, it should be an easy job but as I am learning, nothing is easy on this car.

Yes you need to remove the bezels there are 3 mounting blocks left right and bottom. These have adjusting screws on them. Be careful the fingers on the clips break and these are NLA. I had to make 2 new ones that are now only adjustable by removing them and filing some plastic off the bottom.

Thanks Warren, I appreciate the info. Sounds like a bit of a pita just to adjust the headlights, but as I said, nothing is easy on these cars.
