If they are the same ones that I bought there is a grey **** looking thing at at the back of the headlilght that you can with turn with your hand or with a phillips point screw driver. There is also a phillips screw on the other side. Use these to adjust the projector. Be careful and keep track of the amount of turns. I am still trying to readjust mine after i went crazy with turning the screws. There is another thread a couple of weeks back about ebay projectors which had information about adjusting them also.

Not to threadjack... but what about on a stock headlight? I put the projectors in, then went back to stock, and my left headlight is SLIGHTLY higher than the right.

park on level ground 25 feet from a wall
make a mark about 24-26 off the ground
then make the top of the beam touch that mark
turn the know to see if if goes up or down and you should be fine

Do you have HIDs in these projectors?
I do in my case. Believe me just follow instructions. to lower you have to turn screw or **** clockwise. you wont feel or see the difference unless the headlights are still attached to the car while you turn. Plus you have to do this at night or in a dark big garage that will give you at least 25 ft of space from the wall. Also make sure there are no missing tabs that holds the headlights on the bottom. If this one tab is missing? It could throw off the beam level and pattern.
