Put on New facelift Depo Headlight... Need advice

Well , First off they Depo lights look AWESOME.. My old lights were DONE, i tried wetsanding them polishing them.. nothing helped. So i opted to get a new set. The front bumper was a Paint in the *** ! because of the 2 sliders on each side.. It took me over an hour to figure those out.. and i still dont know how i took em off and out em back on lol !!

After installing the lights, bulbs etc.. My Low beams are facing down, Im lightign up the entire floor, how do i adjust my projectors to come up a bit ? When i start the car the projectors go up and down ( hence the projectors are working) they just wont come up anymore, My buddy plugged in hisSnapon-modus computer and made the projecotrs come all the way up where they should be, but the setting would not hold.

What do I do ? Im not looking forward to driving at night right now, How do we adjust these lights ?

They have adjustments at the headlight, I believe they are hex keys.

This place is a joke.
There is a "zero-point" adjustment that needs to be made through through Star Diagnosis, I believe in the HRA control unit. This is for the OEM lights, unless you are having some other installation issue with the DEPOT light housings.

^Did you replace the old OEM lens/trim with the newer facelift DEPO lens/trim? Or, did you replace the whole housing?

Interesting, on mine the hex will adjust a pretty large amount. There are like 3 hex's per side so make sure you are adjusting the right one.
