Trying to figure out how to aim my headlight LED bulbs in the aftermarket 1pc housings. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm using torchbeam 9005/9006 led bulbs for it, where the leds are on the sides as compared to up and down

I'm confused... if you've already installed the housings, then you probably already had your hands on or near the adjustment bolt that will set the elevation of the housing. If I remember correctly, there is no L/R adjustment. Now, unfortunately, if you're set on using the LED bulbs, then your beam pattern will very likely be pretty horrible, and there's just no fixing it through any kind of adjustment. These housings really need the single point source of light from a standard filament halogen bulb to focus the beam correctly.
There should be a screw or bolt on the back lower inner corner of the low beam reflector. Turn it clockwise and it will bring the beam down and vice versa for the opposite. You cannot aim them up/down or left/right independently like stock.

Good correction, Chris!
I was definitely not remembering the stock setup correctly.
There is a screw on the back side of the housing for UP/DOWN
Separate from the L/R Adjustment on the Front
The aftermarket, 1-piece housing only has the single UP/DOWN adjustment screw as you correctly pointed out
