No.

They are JDM replica headlights which are designed completely different.

I'll edit my prior post then, I don't have old my car so i don't remember which locations the screws are at.

I suggest doing the adjustments while installing them because, much easier IMO.

they can be adjusted while on the car, use a socket 10mm IIRC to adjust the low beams, the high beams are a PITA because of lack of space but doable, obviously this must be done at night
