Need aftermarket headlight help PLS!

Hey all I just purchased some s550 style headlights for my 2011 GT and I adjusted them to the right height and all but when driving on the road they are pointed diagonally to the left! How would I go about moving the bulb left and right?

There is no L/R adjustments on the stock headlights only up and down. Are you sure you installed them correctly? You can't really move the bulb it is focused in that position. You need to adjust the reflector somehow.

my aftermarket units have a left and a right adjustment screw as well as an up/down

check with manufacturer for left/right adjustment screw location

Aren't those a projector style light? Did you use your old bulbs or did they come with new ones?

if directed towards me, my car came with HIDs, and the new housings were HID housings, so I Just swapped my bulbs over.

I bought these because they were cheaper than OEM headlight housings, don't really care for the style, but they were the cheapest HID housing I could find, my stock lenses were very fogged up. I've had 0 issues with them and they've been on the car for a little over 2 years now.

Where are you physically? If you live in a country that drives on the right side of the road (i.e. U.S.) but bought your replacement lights from a country that drives on the left for instance the lights are designed with a bias to the left. Most standard lights do not have a left/right adjustment.

If they are the ones from american muscle, you just bought junk. Send them back.

What do you mean diagonally? That would mean the look like this /. Did you mean horizontally like this -?
