Installing new black headlight casing to taco

Has anyone bought the black headlight casings from ebay or some other store? If so, when you got them and installed them, was thee any aiming you had to do to the headlight itself, or do i just pop them in and im good to go?

 

Please don't buy the ebay casings. They look tacky and cheap. It also makes your headlights look like they belong on a 1st gen Xterra. Just do the BHLM, save the aggravation and have a better looking headlight to boot.

Neither modification involves adjusting the headlight because the reflector is not removed or changed in any way.

 

i have the ebay ones and they look fine imo.saved me alot of time buying them.i think a $100 shipped.and yes u have to adjust them.not hard at all.both stock and after market r adjustable unlike the previous post said.

 

so what exactly did you do to adjust them?

 

turn the adjustment knobs just like the stock ones.

 

Pics?

 

I agree, can we get some pics?

 

Oh, I thought you were talking about the crappy black add ons over the lens. You are actually talking about the black headlights, I assume. Yes, they would need adjustment as previously stated.

 

Oh, yea, i am talking about the actual black headlights, like the ones that are black aroung the frame, not the lense

 

sorry no pics,but if u open your hood and look at the top of the headlight you'll see a hexnut with a washer that has ribs/notches attached to the hex nut.thats the verticle adjustment.the other is caddycorner to that.thats the horizonal adjustment.hope that helps.

 

ok but how do you know when its at the right height and side-to-side?

 

well,i just pull up to(about 25 feet away) a buiding/garage door ect. and go from there.drive around the block (checking both high and low beams)and adjust until i feel comfortable with my adjustment.no big deal.

 

If you buy them, I will buy your OEM headlights. Let me know.
