seriously wtf.. headlight ebay and adjustment
Got a light from there as I funked up my other one... then this one I have the adjustment maxed out but still the aim sucks.
anyone else experience this? my drivers side I move a little and it's up, but this whole aftermarket one is frankly pissing me off.. I don't feel like encountering bambi at the last second and saying oh shiii.....

From what he's describing it sounds like he bought an aftermarket OEM light off ebay and is not happy with it. I got into a car accident in December and I bought a set of aftermarket oem ones off ebay and I dont really like them. They are not as bright as my stock headlights were, and on top of that I went from retros to these crappy ones. My drivers side retro was destroyed in the accident I got in.it's time for me to buy a used light and rebuild my retro lol

I wouldn't mind it, but when you have it maxed out and can't see that great infront thats sad. I see ZZP sells them, but I'm not sure as a pair or what. I might have to head over there and inspect it. I have the passenger not even sitting in the mounting bracket correctly so I can actually have it level and see the road like my drivers side stocker.
or if anyone knows of a good ebay one that doesn't suck ass give me the link
