Headlight Adjustment

Hi,

I have the projector headlights and my HID I just installed is pointed to the ground I would like to raise them up a little bit.

In the pick is the bolt closest to the arrow the adjustment for vertical or horizontal?

Is the other bolt that is up high to adjust the high beams?

Thanks.

the pics to small, i can't really see. on the stock assembly, the adjustment is a 10mm nuts if i remember correctly, very hard to reach with the headlight installed in the car...if that shiny thing near the arrow is a 10mm nut, i believe that is vertical...

I believe it could be a 10mm nut with a philips head in the middle as well.

I forgot to look to see before I installed them

EDIT: I will probably take some pictures and see what that bolt is and controls will let everyone know what I find out.

On my Depo projectors it's the screw towards the top right in your picture that adjusts it vertically. And the Hi and Low beams adjust together. You can just twist it with your hand and see which way it moves inside the lense. You can adjust it easily even if its installed on the car already.

I googled the Depo headlights and they are different then the ones I have. But will try it out tho and see what happens.

Thanks

I found these pics of them.

Looks like the 2 screws do control both hi/low beams.

Thanks.

Yeah those look completely different once I see the front of the lights. Let us know which one it is when you find out.
