I have been searching for months for the answer to this!! My driver one is a little too high, and my passenger one is a little too low. Anyone have ideas?

QT.,. it 'is a little lower on the cedia lights...same dierections....there is also another adjuster that no one seems to now about that sits closer to the outside of the light that one is to adjust it left and right....some JDM lights are pointed to the left because they drive on the left side of the road and lights are pointed that way(a little) to shine some light on the upcoming signs...om if you have anyquestions

see that whole circled in blue?
stick a long + screwdriver into it til it reaches the screw.
turn the screw to adjust the height.

Got mine all done - wow, what a difference! My driver one has always been higher... ever since I put these cedia ones in (like, 10 months ago)!
