i might just cut one of the t things off, cause 1 goes in easy, but the other doesnt. also before i do that, ill pull the bumper off on that side so its easier to get at

Do not cut one off...just keep working it...it took me a few tries both times I tried. I had to remove it to get to my air filter in the front bumper so I could replace the Injen filter with an AEM dryflow.

It takes time, but just work at it...maybe you know this, but it goes in easier if you put the inside (closer to the center of the car) part in first and then work the outside in after...rather than trying to push it in evenly. Hope you understand what I mean because I don't know how to word it any better.

*bump*

I ordered a set and put them on. They look great and where plug and play.

My question is how do you align these. I see the *** on the back is that to adjust the beam up and down?

Also which way should I turn it to raise the beam and about how much turning do u think it takes cus I turned it to the right some and didnt see a difference. Does it need to be turned a good amount you think?

yeah its that ***, and you have to turn it a good amount, not sure which way. just pull like 20 feet away from a wall/garage door and align them.

ya. these lights are tuff to aim. those knob things with teeth aim the lights up and down. if u park at a garage door or something like that aiming ur headlights at it then turn the knobs ull find it does a good amount actually. i found it took awhile to get mine aimed correct to how i wanted them. i aimed against my garage then drove and looked at how it was aiming and they were slightly high so i pulled over and did it in the middle of the road and got em how i wanted. now they r good. as far as which direction aims which way.. im not sure. ha

ya I also used a small flat had and pushed on the teeth. got them even with my garage door but will have to drive to see if they are good. First go around they felt low. so I adjust them a tiny bit up.

For me turning to the right as if you are facing the screw adjusted them up.
