ok so my car has aftermarket headlights on it that were on there when i bought it, i believe they came from late model restoration. from what i can see there isn't any way to adjust them up or down, or side to side. has any body else ran into this? would it be better to buy a set of o.e. cobra headlights from the same website? im getting frustrated because they seem to be pointed straight at the ground right now. any help is greatly appreciated.

there is a way to adjust them, they are little hex head screws that you turn. It's the same part that mounts the headlight to the car. Try popping the headlight out and you'll see exactly what you have to adjust.

do you mean the plastic pieces with the 4 prongs? it looks like me and you may have the same headlights. i tried turning those things, and it didnt really seem to do anything.

OnyxCobra

yeah there are like these screw things that stick out from the headlights and go through a lil plastic tab piece that pops in to hold the headlights to the car. turning those adjusts the headlights. The stock ones are exactly the same.

oh ok i gotcha, it seems to be turning the threaded piece that they are attached to, is that normal?

OnyxCobra

which part, the part connected to the actual light housing?

1fast5OH

yeah the threaded studs that go into the housings. the plastic pieces wont turn independently.

OnyxCobra

the screw part slides through the part that's clipped into the car, the other end of the screw that's connected to the light housing is just there to hold the light in place.
