alright i got some tyc elegante headlamps and the mofos wont align i know how

to do it but when i stick a socket through the holes on the core support to turn the screw like things the light doesnt move at all, ive tried doing this with and without the grille shell on and nothings working and im starting to get frustrated bc it shouldnt be this hard.

i know its easy but why wont the damn lights cooperate?

am i doing something wrong??

the glass housing i had on before set great and looked beautiful just didnt have the bulb cover on low beam so if i ran hids those bitches would blind people and glare like hell.

Swap out the mounting brackets with your stock lights. I've heard of this having to be done before.
 
Try the brackets from the glass housings.

Then shim them. OR, go to the pick'n'pull and grab a faded ass set of OBS headlights for 5 bucks. Grab the mounting hardware and toss the headlights.
 
Use thin washers as shims. Kinda ghetto but it works

well driving with them at night behind my buddy he told me they didnt look high or blind him at all and i got in front of him a ways and they gave me good output, today i ended up making some little spacers and fit one above the passenger light and one below the driver to straighten them so they look good to me and ya cant notice the spacers unless u look for em
