1. inspect headlight aim
Do the following before inspection
-make sure the body around the headlight is not deformed
-park the vehicle on a level spot
-the driver gets into the drivers seat and puts the vehicle in a state ready for driving (with a full tank)
-bounce the vehicle several times.
2.Adjust headlight in the vertical alignment
if the bubble is outside of the acceptable range of the beam angle gauge ( the bubble should be center tending right meaning it's pointing downward) adjust it using adjustimng screw A (the bolt looking one that is closer to the outside or outboard side of the car)
3 adjust headlight in horizontal alignment
if the "O" moves away from the mark beyond the acceptable range adjust the "O" back to the mark using adjustting screw B
or this is easier version
Look immediately behind and to the inside of the light assemblies themselves (regular lights and high beams). You should see protruding silver hex screws. You won't be able to see them if you are looking directly down, for they are under the top frame of the engine compartment, so try to find them by looking at an angle. They are 8mm. One of these controls up and down. The other controls left and right.
Alright hope that helps and I am waititng on the cutoffs !! Also let us know how those work so far, any leaks moists? Thanks buddy
Thank you. I will definately give that a try. I've never had to align my headlights so please forgive me if I sounded ignortant.
What about the rear wheel adjustment? I heard that you can adjust the headlight leveling from a bolt located behind the driver side rear wheel. Do I need to do that also?

ebay headlights, slamming cars just for pics, people hating on parts and then rocking the same shit months later, constant whining... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh how I love my.is haha
Rip out the halos and those 3 little things, whatever they are, and these would be passable.
They are pure rice the way they are now, sorry
Although they would make a good starting point for a projector retrofit, I might think about it in the near future. I would buy a chrome set, open them up, remove the halos and those 3 things and cover it somehow ..spray it flat black with chrome rings.
My friend sells them and when I asked him how much he said free. So sometime next week I'm going to get the Black version of this and show you pics as well. I have a GGP so it should match. Right now I have painted black headlights.
Since it's free I don't see the harm in installing them. If it's really that hideous at least I didn't feel like I wasted my money. Either way I'll keep you guys updated since it's just chrome that I see so far.
