There probably isn't any. With a retrofit, you are able to rotate the projector before tightening it down. These are custom made and the projectors appear to be molded in. It would probably require taking them completely apart but I'm not sure. You may be stuck with them like that or contact TRS and see about getting them replaced. For the money spent on those, I would. Just my 2 cents.

don’t know it will help you or not. I adjusted mine up as far as they would go. Then dropped them back down and they lined up perfectly.
of course I did all this with one bolt up top on .

Tpballs, your lights look level. Totemus' lights appear to be rotated. No amount of moving them up or down will change the rotation to level.

Interesting.., Your beams are perfectly flat and sharp but now you’re missing the upper step up and slope of each projector pair.

Yeah..... wtf is going on with these things? Now we got rotated projectors and missing steps?

Edit: perhaps the distance from truck to wall being so close doesn't allow for the step to be realized?

You can still somewhat see the steps. See that area up top between the two hotspots and how its a bit dimmer than the rest. That's the step.

I had the steps and decided I’m going up as far as I can . Then I went down and they balanced out. It was worth a shot to me and it worked for me .
i think your right as well being to close to the wall. I’ll take a pic further away and see how it compares

After a few adjustments, we finally got the lights leveled (although the high beams may get adjusted again, not sure I found the sweet spot for my tastes). I am really happy with how they look and the performance compared to the OEM halogen headlights. Thanks to everyone on this thread that contributed and helped make this as painless of an installation as it could have possibly been!

Almost pulled the trigger on a set but 1500 bucks is a little steep. When i did aftermarlet lights before i was never happy. Moisture issues mainly. How are these holding up?
