Does anyone know how to adjust the lights in the Projector LED Halo Headlights? One of the previous owners put them in and was too lazy to adjust the lights so I'm left with a cross eyed car - woo.

As far as I can tell there are no external screws to adjust. I can see screws in the headlight but I hope they're not what I need...because I'm lazy too.

Any comments are greatly appreciated, thanks!

If they are after market lights, good chance they are USA LHD with the bias going towards the wrong side of the road.

Illegal, renders your insurance null and void in the case of a claim.

Hopefully they are the proper RHD ones, best you stop being lazy and check it out.

They are RHD... this doesn't help me much? I've already contacted the seller in regards to the installation manual in hopes of working backwards.

On mine, there are two bolts on each corner of the projector that allow some level of adjustment.

But mine are the LHD ones.

assuming they can prove that his headlights was the cause of accident? What if the accident happened during the day? What about if it wasnt his fault and the other driver wasnt insured?

Yep, there's two bolts / screws on the sides at the back of the light unit. The passenger side one is hard to get at because of the battery.

I have the same aftermarket lights. Even on the max adjustment the RH headlight is too high.

But the thing I don't get is that on every other car I have owned both headlights sit level, there is never any bias to the LHS so what gives with these aftermarket ones!

I believe it is the projector unit. Most other headlights' globes shine into the reflectors on the light and produce a spread of light whereas the projectors do just that.. project light and uses 'cut offs' in the projector unit.

I have adjusted mine about as good as it gets.. and considering how they were to begin with, im pretty happy. The light only shines into oncoming traffic at the last split second. its really not that bad.
