I believe there is some screws on the headlight assembly to adjust the projectors - but why would you want to do that?

I have the same problem, I have a dark area in the middle where the two lights are supposed to overlap.

Hate to bring this back up but I need to figure this out. Has anyone figured out how to adjust them left-right? I have the same gap in the middle where they should overlap and its annoying.

There's 2 8mm bolts covered by plastic things, adjust both until you figure out what one is the horizontal adjustment. One cover just comes off (has 3 holes in it), and the other cover you have to lift up and rotate out of the way. You can also uncover them and use screwdrivers. Have fun!

Sounds like mine lol. When I first got the Evo, I was thinking why are the HIDs so dim! A year later, I got used to the factory aiming. I think it has to be like that. Any adjustment at all will result to less signs on the side lighting up or blinding people. It's not exactly luxury car projectors

It's by design, all cars are like that. The right is supposed to illuminate obstacles etc on the side of the road while the left is lower so as not to blind oncoming traffic. It's exactly the opposite in countries that drive on the left like Japan, the UK, Australia etc That's why you cant just swap headlights from JDM cars.
