Jdm Mr Headlight Adjust...how To Do It?

I've searched and it doesn't seem like there is anything on this. If you have a link, I would appreciate you posting it otherwise I would like to ask who here knows how to adjust JDM MR black housing headlights? I've figured how to adjust the fogs and the high beams but I can't figure out how to adjust the HID low beams up and down. I can only move them side to side as far as I know for now. Anything would help. They are really uneven.

I don't know if you are aware but the JDM MR headlights do not have a flat cut-off pattern. If your headlights have a slight angle going upwards on your driver side, that is normal. I have these headlights and thought they were uneven at first but soon learned that this is how they are produced in Japan for more visibility since they are RHD cars in Japan.

Yep.. This is exactly how it is .. It really sucks ) : Considering the OEM head lights you can adjust to make them perfectly even!

I have tried for the longest time to get the jdm's at the same level with no luck at all..

The only thing you can do is swap out the projectors themselves with the correct ones.. There is some one on this forum that sells them. but i just do not want to cut apart these .. It isn't worth it to me to spend the money and time.
