Smile Aftermarket headlight adjustment on 1st gen

Does anyone have any pointers on how to adjust aftermarket headlights? I just installed some 'angel eyes.' Any help would be appreciated.

There should be some sort of bolt or screw or some sort of piece the rotates. Just twist or screw this piece and your headlights will either move up or down. I don't know exactly what it looks like but it will most likely be somewhere behind the low beam spot on your headlights.

The Sonars definitely have one, I can't speak to the others... But yea, there should be two ***** on the back. One for up/down, one for l/r.

I am really having a difficult time accepting the fact that this is all we have on this subject (headlight adjustment). I go in for a 45k service and some free 'Nittos' Wednesday and i'll ask the dealer and then try to remember to post their answer. Kevin

lol, mrsocks do you want me to post a video on youtube showing you how to adjust your headlights? Find a flat surface with a wall about 20 or 30 feet away, turn your lights on, screw or unscrew your adjustment **** which is directly behind the lowbeam on any adjustable headlight, line up the cutoffs. It may be helpful to walk in front of your car and squat down until you see the cutoff with your eyes to get an idea of what height it is so you're not blinding anyone. I think the ideal height for cutoff would be somewhere between the rear license plate and the top of the trunk on most cars.
