Default Adjusting jdm integra headlights

Alright, so I recently bought a integra with a type r jdm front conversion, with hid's. The problem is the lights are all fucked up, they point completely down and out. When adjusting the screws, is basically tightening them pointing the lights up and in, and loosing the screws is down and out. I want to make sure im doing it right.

Why don't you wait until it gets dark and try to adjust them so you can see what you are doing?

Im not trying to be a smart ass. I was asking a serious question. If you wait until it gets dark its going to be obvious what direction you are going in when you turn the screw. I can't offer you any other advice b/c I never did it when I had my Integra.

I just went near a wall, at night and adjusted them until they were the right way. Once you start turning them, you'll figure out which way to go.I'd aim your driver's side headlight down a little more than the passenger side. They are designed to light up the side of the road in Japan, so you can see signs and things of importance off the road, but here all it does is blind everyone coming at you. I got flashed EVERY night I drove my old Integra. It got annoying after awhile.

I'm searching right now to find the writeup I used to adjust my headlights. They tell you how far to be from the wall, and how high the light cutoff should be on the wall.

I figured out mine have a retro fit, it looks like a good job, but something is up with the projector, isnt adjusting from the stock adjuster. Imma try to talk to the former owner and find out whats up.

Just go to an auto shop that has Headlight aiming equipment. It's like 15 dollars for both headlights at my shop.
