So I bought a set of black out headlights off of ebay recently. Nice lights only thing is its pointed too high. I understand you turn the adjustment dial to the left to angle the lense down but is this for both drivers side/passenger side? Or is the drivers side (turn to the left) passenger side (turn to the right) to angle down. I'd appreciate if someone could clarify.

Also these ebay housings doesn't have a nut to adjust using that hole in the upper fender. You have to use a phillips screw driver to turn the metal wheel. I'll be pulling the lights off to adjust cause it's easier to turn using the nut on the adjusting wheEl bu is only accessible by taking the headlights out.

Good luck with that. I did the same thing. After I had taken the lights out and put them back in a few hundred times I gave up. They sat on a shelf for several years before I finally sold them

the nuts on the light will be the same, what direction you turn to adjust one up will be the same for the other, as far as taking em off to adjust, have fun with that, if you can make it work with em installed and adjusting em I would do that
