Default How to adjust JDM/DEPO headlights

I recently installed my DEPO headlights, and they are way out of wack. Shinning way up on road signs, & blinding other drivers. I found a thread via the search option, but the pics didn't show. Does anyone know which screw does what on the back of these lights?

There should be some screw on the back of the headlight for low and high beams.

Just shine your lights at a wall or garage door and turn the screws until you figure out which screw does what.

X2!

Either that or spend the very little money it will cost to take it to a shop and they can align your headlights for you. Takes all of maybe 30 minutes. I have done many of them.

Why not just try yourself? You're not going to break it or make it worse by tweaking it. Just do it at night up against a wall then drive around for a bit and see how the beams are.
