- flashlight

The pic above is the passenger's side headlight. The same rules apply to the driver's side (i.e. For horizontal - turn screw left to move the beam pattern left or for Vertical - turn screw left to move beam pattern up). I don't have any bulbs in the high beam area. Once you adjust the beam pattern for the projectors, you'll notice that you won't need high beams anymore, however, if you decide to put another H1 HID bulb in this area, these 3 screws are what you'll use to adjust the beam pattern.

For best results (and should be common sense), have your headlights on when adjusting, and have the light pointed at a wall at least 20 feet away. When you're turning the screw to move the headlight left right up or down, you'll be turning that screw several times. It won't be just one click or whatever, you'll have to crank away turning that screw and as you're doing that, you'll notice the light pattern on the wall start moving in the desired direction.

anyone know how the 3 screws work per se for the high beam? Like, is the left screw controlling only widening the beam and the right screw controls bringing the beam closer inward... ?

stock headlights use h4, these use h1 for low beam and high beam, h1 bulbs come with the heads
