adjusting the projectors

how do you adjust the low beam on the ebay projectors? There is two screw on the bottom of the low beam. I screwed them so they are all the way in. But my low beams seems like there pointed at the ground to much. They can't really be adjusted while in the car.

the 10mm and 3inch extension is for the high beams.... they are very easy to adjust while in the car, now the low beams are a different question. Also does anyone know what clockwise does compared to counter? I have the two adjusting screw on the low beams screwed all the way in and they still point toward the ground.

Well there are 2 screws for the low beams...one makes them point up and down, and the other side to side.

The screw on the very outer end of the headlights(near your fenders) makes them go up and down. With the headlights pointing at you, you want to turn the outer screw clockwhise to turn them upward.

As for side to side adjusting, I believe turning clockwhise makes them turn to the right...the same as the way you're turning the screwdriver.

Hope that helps...it takes a little bit to get them just right, but you'll get it eventually.

I don't know anything about adjusting the high-beams though, I have yet to do that, but I rarely use mine anyway.

Yes, you can't adjust them while they're mounted on the car...they have to be removed...its nothing difficult really.

i've adjusted my headlights so they are lot better than then before.. but the only problem is i think i've adjusted my lights a little to high. Do you think i will be blinding people with the low beams if there adjusted to high? Doesn't the projector help stop that?

its pretty easy all you do is left turn to make them go up and right turn to make them go down but you have to turn both screws behind the headlight the same number of times/
