Default New headlight issue...help.

OK so about 3 hours ago I got my HIDS installed and thank you for all who helped. But I got in a wreck like 8 months ago some lady hit me and they replaced both the headlights...well when they did it i dont think they allign'd them proper. The driver head light really needs to be pulled up and the passenger does a little too...but I tried screwing the bolts like the car says "Right=up" and Ive tried both right and left and the headlight doesnt even move up....i had the lights shining on the white garage door so i could get a good alignment but they wont budge...any suggestions?

uhm....dude...seriously...the left side headlight or driver side headlight is supposed to be lower so it doesn't blind oncoming traffic. how low is the passenger side one? it should be higher than the driverside isn't supposed to illuminate upwards that much, that is what high beams are for. oh, and btw, HID's in halogen headlight housing, will never be properly aligned because the filaments and light output are completely wrong for reflective housings.

anyway, did you get the instructions off www.trdsparks.com for adjusting stock headlights?

before i got in my wreck i could see fine with my silverstar halogens that came in the car....when they my car the left side is dramatically different. to the point where im hoping my passenger light will light up the road. But i waited to get them adjusted when i got HIDs so I could do it and not blind people...and regardless my headlights are not alignable right now. There isnt need for sarcasm i know what the projection headlights housing looks like and its made to keep the light from passengers. You dont need instructions to adjust the headlights it clearly says on the in side of the hood RIGHT= UP, LEFT = DOWN
