Anyone know which direction a CW turn on the horizontal adjustment knob turns the projector?

After making an adjustment to my headlights I noticed that my driver side headlight appeared to be pointing too far to the left from center.

Knowing how tucked into the fender the horizontal adjustment knob is, I decided to save myself the headache and call Winjet (the company not a distributor) to find out what direction I need to turn the knob to adjust the projectors inward. The bolt is so tight to turn that I want to make sure that I am cranking it the right way.

The gentleman on the phone was very polite and offered me some suggestions on how Winjet suggests that their customers adjust their headlights; but he told me that Winjet does not know the direction that the knob needs to be turned. They do not have a spec sheet or anything that they could provide me, and he said that when they do in house adjustments they just play with the settings until they get it right. I am a little surprised that they have no idea, but fair enough.

Just wondering if any of the find members on this forum can save my poor knuckles a little pain.
