your gonna have to unbolt em and pull em foward like your gonna take em out and you'll get like 2inches behind em thats all the room your gonna get to adjust em.. from there you'll need a ratchet and a coulpe of different size extentions and an 8mm socket..

doin it like this will keep em at the same level as they would be in the car bolted down..

ok, i will work on them tomarrow night. About how far up from the ground do i need to adjust these. can you give me a measurement. i have not adjusted the height of the car so your measurements should work for mine. i also need the horizontal width.

those are way darker than i thought they would be.. i got the ones that looks like factory tails with leds in em.. imma order some of the euro red clear ones that comes wit the inner tails and pull both sets apart to make the leds i got be clear and not look like the factory ones..

the hid kit i got was off of ebay and they wasnt but like 80 bux shipped... they work as good as any other kit i've ever seen that cost way more so i'd say the ebay kits are worth it...

not sure bout that.. you'd have to measure how far off the ground your headlights are off the ground and how far they are apart to do it like that.. i would suggest you take the mountin braket out of the car to and mount em to it to kinda get em to sit level when you do it..
