you hardly helped the search with your title, try and make titles more clear. i.e. headlight adjustment, or something to that nature.

YOU CANT ADJUST SH_T..i mean angle in your stock lens..at least for mine
which is 2002.
the black housing lens is purchased for 130-140 in local tuner/ricer shop.
the adjustment menthod is by turning the dial thingie with a phillip screw driver.
it's real clear after you got it..is like there..haha
of course there will be a meter thing to let you know are you adjusting it too high or too low..
and stop making same post over and over again..

I have a 98 4 door accord. My headlight is the black housing as well, and it is adjustable. The height of the light, and the direction (left to right). There are things that you can put a philipps screw in, and turn to adjust. Check your owner's manual. One is for height and one is for direction.

they changed it sometime during production. 98 and 99 are adjustable, 01 and 02 are not, I forget on the 00s though.

its the screw on the back of the unit, looks like a gear. you put a #2 phillips screwdriver in where it looks like a gear, not on the back where you would normally put it.
