yes, just look at your owners manual on adjusting headlights, your lights will adjust the same way.

There are two adjustment gear looking things. the one near the corner lights is the side adjustment and the one behind the low beam is the up down adjustment. good luck

behind? Explain please...I can see the one that is inbetween the lowbeams and the higbeam/city lights, but i can't see another wheel....Also will just playing with these wheels work or will I have to take apart the housing?

What type of HID kit did you put in there?

Did you replace your projector or did you just get a bolton kit?

look above your low beam toward the fender on top of the radiator support. There is a hole in the radiator support. look in that hole and you will see the other adjustment gear. If all you need is up and down, you are already looking at it. It makes slow adjustments but it works. I have the OEM HID, so if your retrofit aims different than I don't think that anyone here can help you.

I mean is the thing to adjust them ON the headlight piece itself or is it supposed to be attached to the bulb? A pic would work awesome if you have one!! Thanks.

It's in the same place on the jdm. Look carefully on the grey plastic on top. You should see a raised "L" with an arrow and a raised "R" right behind it is the gear. It really isn't that hard to find.
