there's only vertical adjustment on the stock housing. look behind the headlight and you'll see a silver, quarter sized plate with a 8mm bolt on it. twist that to adjust.

ahh good to know about the adjustment.

just upgrade your wireharness for like $20 (plug n play) and luminicsdirect.com. it can hold up to 100w. tc can only hold 51w while the hyperwhites are at 55w. only 4w difference but it does burn the wire harness. i don't know why silverstars doesn't do it when it is rated at 55w. i'm running them in there with stock wire harness.

and remember kids, park 25' away from a wall on a flat surface, and the top of the headlight pattern should be 2" below the height of your headlights.
