Adjustment for JDM HID Cut off ???

As you can see in my kick a$$ drawing my hids are way off. I have adjusted them as far as up and down goes with the little metal tooth contraption, but that doesnt help the funny angle I have. I was told the JDM housings should just do the opposite of USDM housings. (Left side higher than right) but not my crazy 45' angle cut offs. My question is can i adjust the cut off inside the housing? Maybe in shipping they moved? I have no idea, but I dont want to take out the lights and attempt something that is impossible. Anyone else with JDM housings have this issue?

The only adjustment write ups are for up and down, not angle. (like i mentioned in my first post)
If its how they are, then I guess ill deal with it. Just thought id throw it out there and see if anyone else had this problem and fixed it without buying parts for usdm headlights.

I think it would be easier and cleaner to just get USDM projectors as you would probably have to open up the lights and open up the projector iteself. The angled part is inside the projector.

It has some pics of what the inside of the usdm and jdm projectors.

Your welcome. ^lol! I agree. I have the JDM EVO 8 MR headlights as well and it does take some getting used to. It just seems like more work than it is worth to swap the projectors.
