So im wondering if theres a way to adjust the projectors on my car. Bought these Halo Projector headlights from microimage recently but it seems to point down a little too much and i recently changed them to HIDs. Its brighter but still seems to point too much to the ground and not outward. Is there a screw or something for vertical adjustment? :confused:

It should be the same screw as OEM, white plastic sticks out the back of the lights

You have to take them off the car or super short screw driver with tiny hands to access the adjustment screw. OEM makes it easy access, that white big adjustment screw.

Now are these good enough for proper HID usage? Or are you better off just running normal headlight bulbs?

You COULD run HIDs, but the cutoff isn't flat - it flares up on the right. Which is fine if you're going to be forever in the right lane. But you'll blind people every now and then.

Hmmm ok, anyone has a diagram i could use to help? or a pic of the back of the headlight, because id really like if i didnt have to take them out (since that involves taking off the bumper)

Well personally, the regular bulbs that came with them were sooo dull, driving at nights was a pain. The HIDs seem to look fine to me, and the cut off point is fairly good

On mine, i adapted a piece of thin metal to make the cutoff flat...like, Basically i just struck my fingers into the bulb socket with the metal piece and foil tape. It will never be flat cuz the projector bowl sucks. Basically these headlights are for looks, not for proper lighting as even the cheapest retrofit is better.

Instead of taking the bumper completely off, you could just peel the top off enough to get the lights off. And yes, you will have to do this to adjust the screws.
