Yeah I'm dealing with mine at the moment. I just installed my HIDs and I'm trying not to blind folks with them. I believe I ordered my lenses from stangmods though, probably the same ones. They adjust up and down just fine with a phillips head screw driver. Just make sure you get the right size and you'll probably have to hold it at an angle while you twist.

Yeah, if you're doing HIDs, you definitely need a lot of space to get them tuned in just right.
