Headlight adjustment left and right

Has anyone adjusted their headlights side to side? Installed some morimoto projectors in my headlights and they need some side to side adjustment.

I know you can adjust up and down but not sure about side to side.

user error/installation error.
there's no way to adjust side to side...only up and down.
that means the bulbs arent seated correctly.

wait...im confused with the terminology...TJ, you installed "projectors"??? or bulbs???

I'm hoping he just tried to install some Morimoto projectors into the high beam housing rather than replace the lowbeam TSX projector altogether, that projector is plenty awesome stock

Replaced the low beam with the morimoto. Light output and cutoff are better. It bolts directly to the stock housing. They have a good spread but would prefer a little wider

Did the clear lense swap earlier and did not care for it so I swapped projectors. I find the oem ones okay but they're not the greatest. The old fully enclosed tsx projectors are the best but didn't feel like installing them. Here's a pic of them.

Which morimoto projectors were a direct fit for the 4g tl lowbeam? Also what shroud did you use?
