Adjustment for CT9A JDM Headlight?

Hi! Help! Can someone find the thread that shows you how to adjust the Evo VIII/IX JDM Head Lights? I tried looking and can't find it! I have DMV Inspection soon and I know that the Driver's Side needs a tweak...I would appreciate it! Many thanks!

Jdm heads are plug and play if your evo has factory hid's.

Well if you are trying to fix the way JDM heads aim too high (Left side headlight) I think there isn't much you can do, they were made like that for RHD vehicles so if installed in a LHD car they will blind oncoming cars. Only true solution, if you can call it that, is to open the headlights and install a pair of USDM headlight projectors (something I am not willing to do to my lights)
The adjustments on the lights only tweak the aim a little, but the projector cutout is very aggressive on JDM heads so it will still aim wrong. Sorry

Thanks Evoardo IX! That is a huge help! I still have my USDM connectors in place, so I guess I will yank off my JDM's for now and put the USDM's on for a while for DMV inspection and Winter. I appreciate it!
