Projector headlights adjusting question


Ok, got my projectors installed and they look fantastic especially since I just added a chin spoiler, but has anyone else had problems adjusting the darn things. I got these http://blueovalindustries.bluekeyinc...p?pid=99012920 .

I did replace the bulbs which was a b*tch to replace the high beam. Seem like I had turn the adjust forever to get it to make a difference.

What bulbs do you all recommend? I replaced the ones that came with it with luminics.

ok the little silver screw that has like a gear looking thing on it near the part of the head light closest to the center of your hood. Toward the passenger side of the car and it will raise them it take awhile but it works.

Thanks. I figured it out last night. Mine has 2 adjusters screws but I was thinking they adjusted each light up and down and did not realize that both lights are one piece. The one closest to the center like you said is up and down while the other is for lateral movement. I finally took off the drivers side headlight so I could see which way it was moving and what did what. Feel like a moron now but at least I will get the SOB pointed in the right direction now.

highbeams don't really get adjusted they just sort of light up everything.

turn the screw on top to the right. It is hooked to runners on the lights.
