[Lord Tin Foilhat]

yes i know about the screws but i cant get them right...and you have to remove the whole headlight to get to them which blows

Wish I could help ya but mine self level

I had those in my cobalt.

Only problem is, I don't remember if you could even do a side to side adjustment. I believe you can only do up and down.

wow... thank god i didnt get those projectors... they look no different than my standard housing (viewing the road)

You have to remove the headlight to aim them, wtf thats dumb. I was going to say just adjust the screws till the beam pattern is how you like it but I guess its not that easy.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

ya the design is horrible... they look nice but they suck for usability

 

[Spicy McHaggiz]

Yup, leave it to GM to make you remove the shit.

its an aftermarket projector.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

and it gives me alot more light.. its just aimed poorly and the pictures dont do justice

 

[Spicy McHaggiz]

its an aftermarket projector.

Yes, I know that. I used to own a cobalt with these exact same lights. But GM was the one who designed the light so you can't get to it and have to remove it no matter what to aim.

dont have a cobalt here, but i dont see any adjustment in/out on even the factory lamps. you might have to modify the lamp holder brackets? (slot out the mouning points so you can rotate a bit, shouldnt take much)
