Headlight problem...

Just put in the halo projector headlights from AM on my 97 and the lights are shooting straight down... Anyone have these lights and know how to fix it?? They look super good so I hope I can fix it and not have to return them..

Turning the screw should raise and lower the beams, depending on which way you turn them.

Look up your states inspection info, they should list the spec for headlight aiming heights I don't remember what MA is. Find a level parking lot if your driveway isn't and park close to a wall and turn on the lights. Like the others stated turn the screws and aim them, bring a tape measure to try and get them ball park. the screws should raise/lower and move them in and out.

Head lights are suppose to be zero at 25 ft that means they shine straight out and don't drop at all for at least 25 feet . So like said before park on level ground about 25 feet from a wall start right next to your mustang put the tip of your fingers on your leg where your head light shines walk to the wall and mark it with tape or chalk and aim the lights to that height. Sorry not saying any one is doing it wrong just throwing my 2 cents in.
