My Bosch E-Codes are in now, and I must say that the improvement in light output is everything that I'd read on here that it would be. The CityLights are a neat feature too. Some of you may recall that I ordered the motorized aim adjusters and dash-mounted switch (as the European versions have). Those arrived without the wiring diagram, so they aren't hooked up yet, PG Performance is supposed to fax that to me. In the mean time, I need to adjust the aim of the headlights manually. I'm assuming that the manual aiming is similar to the DOT version of the headlight. There are two screws on the top of the headlight. Is the inboard screw for the high beams or is this horizontal adjustment? I know someone will say "just go try it and see", but I don't want to screw something up and would like to know in advance...

I have the same headlights, the Bosch euro reflectors with the integrated fogs, right? I love mine too. The whole thing aims together, there isn't anything separate for the lows, highs or fogs. The inboard screw does the vertical adjustment.
I actually can't get mine low enough. At the very bottom of their travel, my lights are still a tad high. I've got the housing mounted to point down as much as possible, but it's still not enough. How are yours?
WARNING, if you turn the adjustment screw too far the gears don't mesh and the reflectors will jiggle badly. It's easy to hold the reflector up from the back and get the gears back together which stops the jiggling.

I love mine too...much better than the DOT version. I think I've got them aimed OK for the lows...but when the highs come on it looks like I'm hunting something in the trees! I'm wondering now just how useful the adjustable aiming motors I got are going to be once they are hooked up.
