Can you AIM 3rd gen projectors?

I just installed mine today and am not very happy, I have digital Ballast which is supposed to be 100% match from left and right, however my left seems brighter and has a bigger circle then the right. I cannot see anyway how to adjust them or why are they like this?

Thanks

It's not aimed.

actually to aim the third gen there is two 8mm silver screws on the lower side of where the bulb goes in, you have to use both to go up or down. make sure you turn them evenly. to go side to side you use both of them as well but you turn one in one direction and the other in the other direction, you do that to keep it at the same level but still go side to side.

any pictures for reference? Are the screws on the underside of the light itself or on the back under where the light bulb goes into the headlight assembly? Mine are in the mail, I'm just trying to get a heads up on adjusting them. I had 1st gen and they were a bitch to aim. are these the same?
