Don't worry, you'll find out when you adjust your lights. Make sure you do it at night or dark and on a level surface. Use a wall (can't remember the distance the car has to be to the wall). Then turn the adjustment and watch the light moves. Then you can adjust accordingly.

It helps if you can use chalk lines to mark where the top of your main beam pattern is. There's a good headlight aiming guide online here:

Typically the adjustment screw that is higher up is going to be your horizontal adjustment... and the one that is lower should be your vertical IIRC.

This is for a newer gen Legacy, but should still be relevant
