Question about headlight adjustment
 
Hey guys, I'm trying to get my car back to stock, so I bought some stock headlights housings to replace my black ones. The fitment isn't perfect but they do fit. Anyway, now the lights from my headlights are pointed funny. How do I adjust them?

There are adjustment screws behind the headlights. Trial an error against a wall until they are aimed properly.

use a phillips screw-driver or if they turn easily, use your hands. There are two bronze (or silver)knobs with 'teeth' in them to allow you to turn them. I think the one on the top is for up and down movement, the one below is right/left.

I tried those last night (they look like gears, right?)

I couldn't get those to move to save my damn life :mad:
