its true, only sedans have left/right. there is a second gear covered with plastic but you can always take it off. coupe doesn't have it.

I have a sedan and I know how to adjust my headlights up and down.... But I've gone threw a few sets of bulbs and now im on HID's.. and my passenger side light... is dimmer then the drivers side..

How do I correct that? They are both aimed at the same height.. it seems as if my passenger side bulb is not sitting correctly in the lense.. IE... It's not mounted as Deep or as Shallow as the Drivers side.... Anyone have an Idea on how to correct it?

get rid of the kit and get a retrofit.

you could try to make sure the bulb is seated properly. make sure that both bulbs are exactly the same length and check to see where the light is arcing in relation to each other.

^^^^

.. kit is fine.... It has to be the lense... cause EVERY single bulb I've put in there... Stock.. SilverStar... Krypton Showoffs.. Nokya's... HID's... the passanger side light was always dimmer then the drivers side...

Also I have switched the bulbs from Driver to passenger... and the Passenger is dimmer.. Some how the bulb is not sitting correctly in the lense.. no matter how I try to adjust it...
