I just installed some new headlights and I have a problem. I got them from Car Option they are black housing ones, the problem is one of the headlight beams is way to high and they don't adjust like the oem ones. There is no screws to turn the lights up or down. Its like shooting into outer space or some ****. Is there a way that I can somehow fix this problem so it points lower. Pleas help!

Try to drill the mounting hole to give you some room to adjust the headlights. Use some washers to compensate for the drilling. That the problem with some aftermarket items. Sometimes they just don't fit right.

Anybody else have some input to help me out?

I would check again for adjustment screws or call the company who made the lights to ask about them. I can't imagine a set of replacement headlights that don't have any means of adjustment.

Well they don't

Then my suggestion would be to return them. Headlights without provisions for adjustment aren't a very good product. Lighting is a very important safety item, and not being able to properly aim headlight beams is a serious flaw.

What mounting holes should I drill? All of them? Or just the top 2 ?

Will have to use your own comon sense on this one........I would say the top 2......
Just go out there and stare at them for a while and see which way they need to be moved

Shim the mounting holes. Washers under top top mounts would raise the back, angling the headlight down. also if you make the mounting holes go deeper back toward the firewall, you could push them forward a little, and that would drop the angle too.
