Do you mean how to make them look to the correct direction?

Simple.
Pop the hood. Look directly to the LEFT of the driverside headlight assy., and you will see a small WHITE circle. Inside that is a "+" shape for a #3 Phillips Screwdriver. You turn clockwise and counter clockwise to make the necessary adjustments. The passenger side adjuster is the same exact looking part, directly to the RIGHT of the headlight assy. Remember to adjust each headlight EQUAL amounts! US spec cars beam cut off, will be slightly HIGHER on the passenger side, to light up street signs, miles markers, etc. being as we drive on the right hand side of the road. |

Chris, do you think that there is a need to adjust them, or everything is fine from the factory?

You could keep playing with the adjuster until you get it "close," but I think in your case you might be better off heading to the dealer. |

Cool Chris, I am installing HID in mine so I needed to know if there's a way to adjust it, and I couldn't find it. I had to do the same thing for my Acura RSX-S, after you put HID in, they are usually off.
By the way, I work in Mt. Laurel, NJ, where in NJ you hail from? Quote:

There is only up / down adjustment.
Im at the Shore, but work up in Linden.. so Im pretty much all over Jersey. Did you need help with an HID kit? Stay away from the cheapo eBay type kits! Remember, you get what you pay for people.. thats all im gonna say. |

Οh yes, if someone decides to buy a HID kit, he should buy a good one.

I am going to buy Philips 4300K, and that's what I have in my Acura RSX-S. Yes, I've done my technical homework on HID.

1. In my Acura, I put the ballast underneath the headlight housing by removing the bumper (very easy). Where did you put your ballast for your Yaris or recommend? 2. Is there ANY "clip" "adapter" to customize to fit the H4 HID bulb in to fit in the housing? (My Acura did so I am asking) Thanks Chris. |

Double sided sticky pads and zip ties included in the kits. Its rock solid in these locations. The sticky pads help cusion the completely sealed waterproof ballasts, while being held in place with the zip ties. Metal ballast brackets come with the kit, if you choose to mout yours elsewhere. |
