Default projector headlight help

first off, i know people here aren't fans of aftermarket projector headlights. however, i'm still going to buy some because I like the look and they're generally better than reflectors (which I know first hand). i was wondering if anybody has ever had these exact headlights or others from the same manufacturers? any other suggestions for projector headlights other than retrofit?

I had the first set on my EG and loved them. Personally, I'd go with them.

I had halogens and did not have to reseal, though they did get a very slight amount of moisture in the corners when it rained.

Meh, I'd say you get what you pay for, especially with HID kits. Honestly, I'd drop the extra money and use something like this; it's designed specifically for halogen-based projectors like the ones in the headlights you're planning on getting.

ok so my projector headlights arrived here today, i got the first ones. they were a b*tch to get in, but the look good imo. the only problem is the left projector is aimed about 1-2 inches below the right one. how to i adjust them? i dont see a screw only a 8mm socket which is hard to get to, and don't seem to make a difference although i cant really turn them very much
