Your manual has instructions complete with pictures. There are 2 screws, one for up/down, one for side to side.
The manual is great, use it.
If you use the search function here you will also find a PDF service manual for your VL800.

Blackie1491, I have done such search an found no manual (I found lots of links to sites selling manuals). Please school me with your wisdom, a link would be great. I would love to find a PDF of the manual.

Check your e-mail, I sent the PDF files via mail. Your server may reject, your mail box maybe to small. My server has advised that chapter 3 is too large, I will work on it.
Let me know if it works.

The headlight on my M was pointing way low when I first got it, no amount of turning the adjuster would bring it up, so I went back to the dealer. He took the light out of the housing and made an adjustment, than put it all back together, now I can adjust it just fine.
