Default headlight adjustment question

well i installed the 1piece headlights on today. everything went in and was working. then came night, i went for a drive and the right side light is pointing almost all the way to where the left side is. is there a way i can adjust this? i know how to do up and down, but from left to right? i dont see any screws anywhere, and the blub goes in only one way. after that the bulb is nice and secure and cant move.

SO in short, how do i adjust the passanger headlight from left to right?

In case those with JDM headlights miss your post, you might try searching through past threads to determine those who have them so you could PM them and ask how to adjust them.

Since the one-piece JDM headlights are for RHD (right hand drive) cars which drive on the left side of the road, I would expect that the beam pattern of the right headlight would be somewhat skewed towards the left in order to avoid blinding oncoming drivers and to light up the shoulder of Japanese roads -- opposite of the way headlights work in LHD countries like the U.S.

PM JDMCelsior - he's got em.

If you've found a way to adjust from left to right, please do a follow up...I'm sure many would like to know.

***THIS IS ON MY JDM 1 PIECE HEADLIGHTS

this is what i did:

popped this open


then u see an adjustment screw


adjust as necessary.

my experience:

kinda worked but not as good as i wanted. i think mine got stuck some how. the light shifted right for sure when i "adjusted" it but then when i was adjusting, i heard a light snap and after that i couldnt adjust it to the right anymore. i think i maxed it out.
