If you open your hood, on the back of the headlight there will be 2 plastic **** things. When you turn them they will move your headlight beam. You need to move them at night to see the headlight beam move and they move very slowing as you are turning them.

dito... test it out on a smooth wall or garage door that is in a level area and then if ya can have a friend with another car drive down the road with you going towards him in your own lanes like normal and ask him if the headlights are blinding or not..... if blinding move them further down or further right...
dont just guess its fine and wait for people to start flashing thier lights at you..

thats just one thing that always pisses me off is when someones headlights are WAY outta wak and blinding me!

yes they are projectors and they are euro blue. The guy told me they were mercedez benz lights but he wasnt very bright (heh). Case in point he reffered to a corvette z06 motor which is an LS7 as a ZZ and swore up and down its called a ZZ. So anyways there is also a little box that looks kinda like a ballast behind the passenger headlight that says hella on it but there isnt one on the driver headlight side. And i can see NO adjustment dials, *****, anything.

Eric.
