Its adjusts by turning the adjustment screws on the back of the unit.

Good luck
I was finally able to install my TYC Cefiro headlights I bought off ebay (not from paradox) They did not ship H-4 bulbs or H-4 harness. And I went to Wal-Mart, Advance discount auto parts, and pepboys and showed them my one piece headlight and the stock wireing trying to figure what I needed and they didnt know what a H-4 harness was.

Also the stock corner socket/bulb has wires already connected (not the same as the new corner plug) It has 3 knotches that connect it to the light whereas the TYC has 4 knotches, so we had to dremel out 2 knotches on both cefiros to make a tight seal with the stock corner socket and bulb.

To fit the stock lamp to the clip on type connection, we had to carve out some of the black rubber cover.

Now with the fog lights off its badly scattered and almost looks like its pointing to the ground. apparently i didnt turn the aiming screw enough. Is it the long screw sticking out near the bolts that connect the lights?

Mine look just like yours on ebay.

Do you sell the OEM panel that goes between the rear trunk lights to match the trunk. (no more red between)

I also need a rear bumper. Could you get me an estimate to Orlando, FL Please.

Thanks!

some comments

1. H-4 is also known as 9003 in USA.

2. If you bring the H-4 bulb to them or to the dealers (Nissan, Honda, or Infiniti), you will be able to ask them for the harness that you need to plug in the H-4/9003 bulb

3. Why would you need to trim the rubber piece? You are NOT suppose to install stock 9004 headlights into the housing. No wonder it scatters badly. That is really really WRONG....

H-4/9003 has the beam pattern cut off horizontally (with right side curving up almost 40 degree's or so for illumination of the side street sign). And 9004 stock OEM beam patterns are vertical.

4. Make sure you seal off the corner lights sockets otherwise, you will experience water problem or moisture problem in the headlight. If your TYC headlights came with their new plug, you should use theirs instead of cutting your stock one's and trying to make it fit. That way, you can make sure there is no leaking or water problem into the headlights.

When you first got the headlights, they should have been aimed. Well, at least the OEM's are aimed prior to leaving the factory. There are two screws on the back of the headlights. One is the longer screw, and the other one is close to the city light and they are both philip head screws. As many other had mentioned here. Be patient when adjusting 'em. You will notice one adjust up and down, and the other adjust left to right.

5. Can you specify which trunk panel are you refering to?
6. The bumpers are quite expensive as it is big. And depending on how soon you want it shipped to you, the prices differs.

Feel free to post here or email me to sycefiro@yahoo.com
if you have any other questions.

Ok thanks for your help.

I did indeed install the stock 9004 into the housing. I will get a 9003 bulb and harness soon.

As for the back panel, nevermind. I had seen THIS on ebay and thought it was just a panel.. without the licence plate thing there.

I also sent you an email yesterday asking if you still have any tail corner lamps left with the white blinker rather then orange.

thanks again.
