Default Non Projector HID Headlights

So after about half a can of PB blast, a grinder and a bit of wrestling I managed to remove my dented front bumper. I thought now would be a good time to change the headlights. I am looking at some basic clear/chrome headlights to slightly change the look of the front end and was wondering if anyone else has had experience with them?

here are the headlights I am considering:

Those headlights have no adjustment screws, so expect to be using washers/spacers on the mounting bolts to adjust their aim. Especially with HIDs, you want to have them adjusted properly, to minimize the number of people you blind.

The gold/copper colored screw at the bottom is your adjustment, but it's a real pain to get to it while it's in the truck. I bought these lights and the pattern is terrible, I pulled them back out and put my stock ones back in, much happier now!

I had these headlights at one point, trust me, there were no adjustment screws at all. The only bolts/screws they had were the mounting ones.

Even if they did have a single adjustment screw on the bottom, that only adjusts up and down, not left to right.

Thanks for the info and saving me a headache. Do you know where I can get a good clear plastic headlight (similar to what is pictured) that I can use the factory plug-in bulbs?
