How to aim up or down with this projector ?

Hi,
I got a question about the projector below. I wonder if you guys know how to adjust the projector aiming up and down. I was trying to play around with it last night, I only could adjust them right and left. I saw a screw next to the projector and it was only for right and left, let me know if you guys ever did this.



Thanks

Yeah I do see one more screw in the bottom, but it is unreachable, unless I take the bumper off. I think I am gonna try that one.

How about for TYC headlight? Is it hard to adjust them?

No, that's not me. I just get the picture for sample.

taking bumper off its ok.if it let u aim from the bottom
...but taking whole headlight housing out to get to the screw...this makes difficult to aim perfect

well 3 hrs later i got it pretty good. you just need to put one screw to hold in place. its funny cause i didnt adjust the driver side at all. the pass side was completely messed up aimed too high and way off to the left. i had to bring it toward the other side as far as it would go but lucky me there was some nice fog to help.

i have those same crappy ones. there should be 4 screws. 2 for high beam and 2 for low. i wanna say its the outter most one, on both sides, like the closest one to the fender. mines actually bottomed out before i got them low enough, then the crappy plastic that hold the projetor on the screw snapped

Hey guys,
Now, it was aiming way too low, I try drove around town last night, it was too dark since it aimed too low now.
I am gonna take off my bumper and hopefully can aim the up or down of my projector right. Any suggestions that I have to be aware of while I did this?

Thanks

if you take the headlight out to adjust it, make sure that you have it in the exactly position that it wll be bolted up in. for instance if you just set it back in there, then aim it, when you tighten the screws it will pull the whole headlight up and then they will be aimed to high.

i was able to do it without taking them off and on, just used a short 8mm wrench. it will hurt a little but its easier than taking off and on lol

But when you did it, did you have to take off your bumper still?

you have to take the bumper off regardless to mount the new ones, so I took it off, mounted projectors, mounted bumper back and then aimed them
