Yer there a real pain.To do the drivers side you need to remove the battery.Then there are 2 screws around the parker and highbeam light assembly (one moves the highbeam and one the parker globe watch as you turn but from memory i think these are only left or right)and there are another 2 screws around the light that runs your low beams one in a bitch of a spot on the passenger side around the top of the assembly which moves low beam left or right and you need a small screwdriver coz otherwise the handle hits your coolant filler and the other is at the bottom of this assembly which moves low beam up and down and is easy to get to.I found them by feel and adjusted by turning them on and watching which way the globes moved(cant really see the low beam though)but it has taken several adjusts to get them half decent and i still could fine tune them a bit more.Hope this helps and goodluck i wish i had of studied the adjustment screws more before installing them.....

Thanks M8, pleasure to help out.If these Altezzas didn't look and work so good you would go back to stock.Keep at em and you will get em eventually.

Hey mate i had the same problem with my VX. It was a bitch specially when i did a HID conversion. I mucked around with it for like 3hrs .... got the ****s and went to autobarn and guy charged me $20 to do it ... took him 1 1/2hrs and he did a good job. Some random Auto Electrician down the road wanted some crazy $70 per hour ... idiot.

Anyways ... i got some pics with HID if anyone wants to see

I got the 8000k instead of the most popular 6000k.

Cheers.
