Default Put in OEM HIDs last night, no auto adjust. Drivers side is off big time.

I had halogens and just swapped out for OEM HID's same year and everything. Everything went in w/o a hitch but. The drivers side projector is screaming up and to the right big time.

Before I mess it up more can anyone give me the quick and dirty on manually re-adjusting?

Thanks,
Andrew

well their is a screw on top of each headlight which allows you to do all the big adjustements. then for finer adjustments use the white circlular things

Default Thanks did all that. It seems as thought the projector is just off..

I tweaked the aforementioned to no avail.

It's the whole housing off. Maybe you need to loosen screws for housing and readjust in a major way?

Default I think I may have to, this morning in the paper, there was talk of a plane moving off course.

Evidently he was thrown off by a fast moving beam of light.

I mean this thing is skying

:-)) I'd guess the whole housing is not centered if that's how bad it is.

Default So dis-assemble? I can visually see the bulb unit tilted up and right..

I just do not want to snap the thing how sensitive are they. Is a crowbar over the top?

Default I've never taken the housings apart, but that's what it sounds like you'll have to do.

Just be careful and take your time. Maybe some others will post some ideas.
