I've read that if you put JDM headlights on your rsx, you will run into aiming issue like the driver's side aim high & to the left, the other side aims left. And if so, can you adjust the aimings on the back of the housings?

 

If its like the USDM housing, with aiming at least you can adjust the vertical aiming pretty easily...Just look for the adjuster...HINT: you will need a good long #2 phillips screwdriver. And park level about 25 or so feet from a brick wall...I use a brick wall b/c brick layers have to lay bricks level. At least if they want to stay brick layers. Acura says the beam should reflect on the wall @2.1 inches below the actual height of the head light center dot...Wich can be seen right in front of your low beam bulb...Sort of looks like a little melted spot on your lens.
this is a pic of the backside of one of my lenses...the adjuster you want to adjust is the on farthest to the right...that has a black cover on it, but you can see why you need a long screwdriver. The GREEN-X is the one you want, the YELLOW is NO-NO.
Sorry for the size, I haven't resized these....
Hope that helps you

You have the HID kits which are a lil different than regular housings which I have. But I'm pretty sure I can adjust the up, down & side to side aimings with the JDM lights because there are 2 silver bolts on the back like the US ones. But regardless, appreciate the help.

 

Greenbean, is'nt the adjuster (x'd out in green) suppose to raise or lower the light?

 

I guess not, According to Acura Interactice web site...the outside one runs the whole assembly...Remember that the adjusters move both low and high beam at the same time...I will check in the morning and post again. Sorry if I goofed.
And also I have USDM housings with the Xenondepot HID kit...

 

Sorry for another post but I checked the Interactive site again and the picture shows that the outer adjuster is for the vertical alignment....up/down. I'll check on my car in the morning....TO BE CONTINUED....

 

Greenbean, the one that is marked x on your pictures is for adjusting the up/down, i am pretty sure. The adjusters circled in yellow are for adjusting the lights left/right.

The one on the outside adjusts up and down while the other one adjusts left and right

 

It would be the adjuster closest to the low beam housing that adjusts it up or down

 

Sorry for the mix up, its fixed now...On a USDM housing you would have to break off the cover for the left/right adjustment. Sorry bout that

 

Greenbean, did you adjust your L/R adjuster?

 

No I didn't, The only way I could have done that would be to break off the cover for that adjuster. I just aimed them a little higher....I got my HID's about I week before I lowered my car.
