Default TL retrofit in duals done

Here are pix of my TL retro done in duals. No turn lens

The projectors are oem from an 07 Acura TL with custom ground clear lenses.

No output pix yet. Would have been installed but I broke a d2s bulb

So by doing this to your OEM headlight housing, how will you be able to adjust the height/level of the headlights now (?)

The projector is mounted to the reflector, and the reflector is what gets adjusted. Pretty simple.

Please forgive me, i`m kinda new at this projector lighting thing and still learning....
so i`m guessing a person has to really hog out that OEM housing quite a bit so that when you adjust the projector unit,
it`ll have lots of room to move for adjustment...???? If so, kind of a trail & error thing i take it..?
One thing i DO know, these 4th gen trucks can only be adjusted for up/down, no left/right adjustment.
So with saying that, what would you do to correct left/right adjustment if it is off on alignment.
