Headlight Adjustment
Ok so I bought the black gen 3 headlights from zzp, and the beams are set too low, and i cant figure out how to adjust them, looked at the back of the headlights and seen one of them had 2 screws and the other only had 1 screw, i think that is what I use to adjust them with but I cant figure out why my driver side headlight has 2 and my passenger side has only one.

theres silver bolts sticking out of the back of the light. but id like to hear HOW people go about adjusting them. do you actually have to take them out, adjust and re install?

i have the depo projectors and every set of headlights ive ever seen you can adjust them while they are on the car. that makes no sense. maybe take a pic of what you r talking about. like mine has a screw sticking out with a washer type thing on it that has teeth on it so you can take a small flat head screw driver and turn it. that adjusts the lights. if yours you can probobly just wait until somebody with these headlights answers u but ya. as far as ive seen every headlight making company is smart enough to make a way for u to adjust without removal. that would be pointless ha.

if they are the ones i had, which i think they are, there should be 2 goldish looking screws, almost look like bottle caps, one is high/low, one is left/right, they gotta be taken out, adjusted, put back in, its a pain in the ass for sure and i never was able to get my completely correct, but i did buy my gen 2s off ebay, so idk if they are exactly the same

no way.... how is that company still in business if they are that stupid. and if they look like bottle caps then they are the typical flathead screw driver turning screws. take a pic please. i dont beleive that any company could possibly expect to sell these with adjustment screws being impossible to get to unless the headlight is removed from the car. HOW in the HELL would u ever get them right.

haha its a HUGE hassle. the things are soooo easy to break and the angle to get them in is sooo annoying. idk just me i guess. but how in hell do you aim headlights if you cant do it from on the car hahha. so dumb. even my depo's have an easy aiming feature. sorry, not easy. CORRECT way to aim them. stupid 3rd gens. ha enjoy those garbage headlights.
