I am going to be adjusting my HID's tonite and needed some help. I dont have the OEM headlamp housing since after a wreck the insurance company used knock offs. I see 2 adjustement screws on each headlamp. One on the top part of the housing and one on the bottom of the housing.

Anybody know which one is up/down adj screw and which is the left/right adj screw? I'm sure i need the headlights to point down even farther so i dont blind other cars. Does turning the adj screw clockwise or counterclockwise make the headlights point more downward? Thanks.

dont know for sure with aftermarkets. i would test the screw on the top to see which direction and axis it moves. the bottom one with be the opposite axis.

as far as what direction of the bottom screw..if the top screw when turned counter clockwise adjusts the position in an up or right -wards fashion, turning the bottom screw in the same clockwise fashion will most likely adjust it either up or right as well
