Adjust Rotation after sealed up?

david462 · 07-04-2012, 11:42 PM

I did a retrofit with mini H1s and thought I had the rotation pretty good but must have knocked them slightly off when I went to tighten them down. Now both sides are angled so the cutoff looks like \ / (very exaggerated here).

I think it can be done, but has anyone adjusted the rotation with the headlamps sealed up? I think I could just take the headlamps off the car, remove the bulb, loosen the lock nut, and careful adjust the rotation. There won't be much to grab on to to rotate though.

you dont have to loosen the lock nut.. just take out the bub and the bulb holder and put some pliers in the holes to rotate it.. ive also rotated some by grabbing the bulb holder also..
