How to Adjust Headlight Beam Height
That’s me using a screwdriver to adjust my 850 Headlight just a few weeks ago. It’s not the big spinner (on the right in the photo). The bubble level is only marginally useful. The best thing to do is point them against a wall, and mark where they were so you can see how much change you’re dialing in.

The headlight housing itself does not move. the lights inside the housing are what move when you turn the wheel.
the bubble isn’t that helpful. You really need to do this at night, about 25-40 feet back from a wall, with some sort of reference point on the wall. I used my garage door, since it has lines on it.
I’d adjust it, go for a drive, then come back and adjust it until it was where I wanted it. The bigger wheel adjusts side to side angle of the lights. That’s personal preference, but I keep my passenger side adjusted out some, mostly to catch deer. You usually see their eyes before you see them.
