"there is an adjuster in the middle inner part (up against the grill / core support) and another under the humps, bottom. I think its a T20. Get in there and twist!" -JJ
he answered my question a while back.

look at the "11:00" position on this pic. That is where the up/down adjuster is for the 02-05s

Thank God, lmao..I'll have to adjust them down more once I get out of work tomorrow....wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those lights..at least I can prevent the intensity of it a little bit by aiming them more down haha..once I get the projectors from you I won't have to worry about blinding people at all!

nah..i was able to make my hand go back a couple inches away from where the signal lights were...i felt the socket where the actual HID bulb went into the headlight but didn't feel anything around it like where it is in your pictures..i was able to see little with a flashlight and didn't see any white pieces like that
