No, you can adjust both directions from above, you just need a long phillips screwdriver. There are pictures of the back of the light housing which show both adjustment screws.

Yup, projectors are a pain to aim. But once you get used to the feel of it, it should be easier. And after word the lights will look B/A

you have rite bolts off, the body of ur car is holding the lights bak, there very snug, u have to jiggle the headlight.

i was able with the proper tools to aim them in the car. i found that much easier than pulling them out and putting them bak in 20x
