If he still has the bulbs that came with them they should be in there correctly. As for aiming them, what style projectors are they? If they are the first gen, there screws/**** on the back of the headlights that you use to move the lights up and down and left and right. You have to take the light out to aim them which really sucks.

actually i found a much easier way to aim these lights then to take them out
go to a hardware store and look for one of them flexible socket wrenches,, there about 10 inches long,, and get whatever sze socket thing you need and your good to go.. and as for what screws they are theres one on each side of the main bulb towards the bottom(one you can see and the other you is on the other side that you can't see).. one will adjust left to right and the other up and down.. if i get time i'll make a how-to so it will be a lot easier to understand.
