BAD NEWS
when i started adjusting the lights with the screwdriver, i stripped the plastic adjustment tabs on the inside, BOTH SIDES!!(I SCREWED THEM IN/OUT TOO HARD)
at least i know what was the cause of this....i did not trim enough of the bezel and the bottom of the projector shroud caught it and it went downhill from there

Uh oh, need not worry, just open the headlights again, replace the adjustment *****, trim the bezel and seal them back together .

I told you to shave the inside of the factory GS bezel before you install.

here is a picture to show you how it needs to be trimmed.



Also let me know if you need the *****, i might have 1 or 2 in the bin, might.

well the **** from FX projectors would also work just fine, you just need two right? Since you stripped one from each side. I'd say open them up and look as to how many you need. I have one from the Lexus and one from the FX.
