You might have better luck asking in the how-to thread - there are several references to adjustment there ... https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...highlight=halo

I just got my projector halos in the mail today so I figured I would do a write up on installing them. First you need to remove these bolts.
Then you need to remove this clip.
I removed it here so it was easier to work with. Next remove the harness from the back of the headlight here.
Next cut the brown and one of the black wires on the small side marker bulbs socket. The take some wire quick connectors and crimp them on the wires you just cut like this.
Then do the same thing to the black and white wires on the halos like this.
Then hook up the wire harness to the halos and install the lights into the headlight assembly like this.
I then tested the halos and saw if they worked or not.
Do the same on the other side and then your done here is a couple of pics of them installed. I will have more later. Hope you like them and the write up.
You can't see the halos very well but in the dark you can see them great. I'll post night pics tomorrow.

Well first off they are H1 bulbs in the projector and H1 for the high beams, so very easy to find blue bulbs... 2nd the projector is a total PITA to align...
This is gonna be really hard to explain, but I'll try. First off your lights need to be parrellel with your car at 25 feet, if you can pull that off they're fine. Anyway, you have to pull the lamp assy out of the car and the two screws on the projector are connected to the bottom of the projector socket, so to move the projector up, you have to turn both screws counterclockwise. If you don't turn them together they will start to go left and right so be careful. I should also just point out, take the boot off the bulb and physically look at the projector socket and see what I'm talking about before doing it. Its a very rudimentary system, but its all we've got.
