if you are just replacing bulbs,the beam needs no adjustment....

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
