anyone know how to adjust JDM headlights? - Toyota Yaris Forums

put them in tonight. right light is dead on both high and low (projector)beam. left one is low on the low (projector) beam and left on the high beam. Pretty ragged looking. I looked for obvious adjustment knobs, screws etc when i did the install but didn't see it, if it was there. decided to just put them in and hope for the best.
install went easy but she's cockeyed. any suggestions???

disregard, pulled them back off and found the adjustments. I'm a dumb--s. They are a pain though. can't adjust them while they're mounted. have to mark the beam on the wall, take the light out, tweak the adjustments, put it back in, compare it to your old marks. pretty time consuming but it looks good now. If you're thinking about doing this, they're kinda like my daughters boyfriend....they look cool but they're not very bright. At least not as bright as the factory headlights, but more than adequate.

pictures of JDM lights and where did you get them from?

that's because they are not JDM headlights.. real ones have adjusters while they are mounted.

Well, even the USDM ones have the lateral adjusters that are only reachable when you pull back the wheellwell thingys.
