I just bought and installed those a few weeks ago and i wasn't impressed with them. I love how they look, but they don't seem to cover as much of the road as my stock ones did. I have to use my fog lights to give me extra light when it's really dark out

It could be that you need to have them adjusted professionally at a shop.

I think there is a procedure in the service manual for adjusting them...... if you have some masking tape, and a tape measure, its pretty simple...... Give it a shot.

The lights look awesome, but they have no adjustment screws. Thats why I sold mine, they were the same style as yours, just the chrome version.

You have to rig up something with washers, possibly longer bolts, etc. to get them aligned properly. Royal pain in the rear end. I recommend not considering these lights, or similar types without adjustment screws.

Sorry to dim your spirits on that one. When you look at pictures on eBay, make sure they have the two adjustment screws (in the same spots as the stockers), and you'll be fine.
