Default Are headlights adjustable??

I just put the raxion retro lights on my '08 Bullitt. When I pulled into the garage with the lights on one beam seemed lower than the other. The mounting screws (3) are pretty much fixed, so is there an adjustment that can be made?

Here's a pic of the mod.

yes, open the hood, look straight down from top, you will see a screw right behind the headlight on both side. turn on lights and use a screwdriver to adjust angle.

Uh, the screws behind the fascia are mounting screws. There is only one adjustment screw as described above. Found it just where stated above!

There's no way to adjust the beam angle by adjusting the mounting screws..All you have to do with the mounting screw is tight them up and don't let the headlights fall off.. There's another screw behind the headlights on EVERY car that allows drivers to adjust beam angle..
