new to Mazda here

hey all. im new here. i dont actually own a Mazda, but bought a 2001 LS 2.0 for my sister and i fell in love with it after she gave the go ahead and moderately 'mod' it. anyways first of all great forum. im usually on bimmerforums.com or euroteknik but ive had some good reads here. anyways, my first newb question....

my sister lives in Kansas now and she just replaced her headlight bulbs. can someone please give me detailed instructions on how to adjust the beam pattern so that i can email it to her and she can go on her way? thanks a bunch!

I've replaced the lights in my '03 LX with silverstars, and noticed one of them was a little crooked. Twisting the bulb in the housing's socket fixed the prob, but that was the only way I noticed you were able to adjust it.

hmmmm weird. yea she just replaced the bulbs and she called me and said "jed my car is **** eyed." does anyone know of any adjustor screws or anything back there?

while we are on the subject. i really like the dual housings on the P5s. are those direct replacements for the LX? if so, anyone have any laying around? =P
