How to align the low beams? (2009)

Hey guys..., i have a 2009 lancet gts and i just noticed that my HID lights are not aligned, the left one is higher than the right one. Does someone know how to fix it? i tried looked in the user manuals, but it just say you have to bring it to Mitsubishi dealer to align them, and then tried to do it by myself, but couldn't.

Any help would be appreciate, thx

there is a ten mil screw on the back of each headlight housing, kind of near the bottem, its fairly easy to spot

i cant remember if its counter clockwise to turn them down or up tho?
jus turn your lights on in front of a garage door or wall and turn the screw and figure it out, you will see them slowly move either up or down on the door

the screw is kind of hard to get at but a ratchet with an extension works fine

note, this adjusts your entire headlight housing, so it applies for your high beams as well

the biggest problem I had was getting the damn bulbs in properly, I dont know what it is, but they sure designed the 9006 to be a pain in the ***. Why couldnt they make it much like the H4 bulbs where it is spring loaded. Makes so much more sense... sigh... sorry just had to rant.

just make sure the bulb is alligned before you go adjusting the whole assembly.

cheers
