Aiming Cefiros

Anyone know how to adjust the 1-piece Cefiros up/down or left/right?

I turned 2 bolts on them - one was a rod sticking out that looked like an aiming mechanism, and one was a brass bolt on the other side of that towards the bottom that doesn't appear to have a purpose - both of the bolts did nothing.

Do they aim in some other way?

Both mine work... Those are the ones...

Keep in mind the inner reflective assembly moves and not the whole lense as it does with the US OEM...

Yep - these don't appear to do anything. 2 other people were with me and verified my findings. It just wiggles a little when I turn the bolts in either direciton, but doesn't actually do anything.

Maybe this is something people with the Smoked Cefiros should be aware of.

I am fairly sure those are the ones I used. I will have to look to be sure, but it worked for me.

I've got the smoked cefiros, and mine don't respond to any adjustment either, I just aimed my foglights up a bit to counteract the fact that with my cefiros, the light output has been significantly reduced, but I'm also not running HIDs, the cops around here, like to enforce the new HID ban law, couple friends have lost kits to over zealous donuts:/

I don't understand how your light "output" is reduced with the H4 setup...

Are the Smoked Cefiros that bad?!?

Mine isn't reduced, it's just pointing lower at the ground.

Here is a pic of the differences between stock and the smoked cefiros.
