Default how do I adjust my headlights?

I got a pair of 3 beam projector lights. Is there anyway to aim the beams. They are shining all over the place and there is no adjustment screw.

$20 says u got them for $179 on ebay, and theyre no-brand......unfortunatly i think u just got scammed.....most headlights on ebay are really shittly made, give poor light outbput, and are not adjustable.....ur best bet is to try to turn them around and sell them to some unsuspecting chap.......thats just my $.02

I got a pair of Denji 3-beam projectors, they aren't adjustable as far as I can see, but they aim just fine. I'm actually looking to get rid of them so I can buy some JDM's

Bagged93's are like that I think.

If it's possible, you could slip washers behind screws in order to manually point the lights in the direction you want.

I actually bought them from Speed and Style about a year ago and I just installed them about a week ago. They only came with instrustions for wiring.

The headlight adjustment instructions, with a picture and a diagram, is in the Haynes manual (page 12-10 for my '99 Accord).

I could type it out, but you really need to see the picture to see where the adjustments are as well as the bubble level, and the diagram showing where to place tape on a wall (you then back up 25' and adjust until the headlights hit a certain point of the tape).
