left and right angle of HID beams
Does anyone know how to adjust the left and right angle of the beams?
I know how to adjust up&down but need to know how to adjust the drivers side's angle a bit.
Thanks in advance.

It's a usdm MR.
There is a "how to " for vertical adjustments. It's fairly easy.
I need to find out how to adjust the left/right angle adjustment.
My driver's side beam is pointing way to the right side(pessenger side) of the car.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Here's the thread from the how-to section: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=75583
Some words of advice: turn it very slowly and carefully, you're turning a plastic gear with a metal one, so be very careful. It worked just fine for me and now they're perfect.

sorry, but it's not that one.
I already know how to do that.
I need to adjust the angle so my drivers side beam aims more towards the center of the car, not to the shoulder of the road.
Thanks anways though.

Maybe I am smoking crack.
I swear I saw it somewhere how to adjust horizontal angle adjustment.
Oh well, time to take it to the dealer than.
Appreciate all the help/input guys.

why do you need to adjust them?? did you change the bulbs?? if so, then you need to check the bulb. i had a bulb that was wrong in its base. if you looked at the bulb, it was way off to one side. i took a small steel machinists scale(ruler) to it and it was WAY off being perpendicular to its base. this may be the case with yours or the bulb isnt seated properly into the housing. good luck..

HID bulb sits in perfect with two guides....then a metal holder secures it. It would be difficult to have it sit in incorrectly.
If you bought some $100ea HID bulbs then yes, thats the reason your projection is off probably as they are all over the board quality wise and theres a good chance your simply seeing less light thus assuming you need to adjust left or right...but an overall reduction of lumens will be noticed regardless of alignment.
