They actually don't fit nearly as well as the stock headlights did. I actually had to use a bit of force to get them in. The rubber on the outside is insanely thick lol. I bet after time it will wear and I can adjust, but for now I think they look fine, the untrained eye doesn't notice it so I'm okay with it.

You can adjust the hight as in up and down on the light but not the tilt. There's a metal knob that you twist and it will adjust.

I adjusted them and it's a lot better. Now the thing that is kinda' buggin' me is the left side. I got both of them to a desireable height, but the left light is a little to much to the left and when i tried turning in to the right so many times, it just won't move. i hope the knob isn't broke, cause i never touched it until right now. and HIGHLY DOUBT that i "adjusted it to much" cause i'm always so careful.

As somebody else pointed out - those new lights don't appear to fit well at all... there's some big gaps between the light and body. As for untrained eye not noticing - do you have an untrained eye?

Let me change the wording for you.
No one has said anything about them not fitting well outside of this forum, which is, of course, frequented by CLK owners. In fact, I've even asked people if they look like they don't fit well just to alleviate my own concerns, which stemed from the few people noting the "gaps", and the consensus is they look fine. I think the pictures are actually misleading, as the black rubber, which is very thick, makes it look like gaps. Regardless, I think they look awesome.
No matter how good something is there's always those few nay-sayers.
