Winjet headlights pointing too low

I just installed my winjet headlights, and the the headlights seem to be pointing to the group. When driving at night the lights only light up a bit of the road in front of me, nothing like the oem lights. Is it normal for the light to be pointing to the ground?

There are adjusters behind the headlights its a a metal circle with a bolt. Just need the right size socket wrench and your good . Give yourself some space from a wall and adjust them

It's an 8mm bolt. Line up about 20-25 feet from a wall and start cranking till you get them where you want them.

I'm glad there's a way to adjust it.

I just installed these over the weekend. I only did a simple test of turning them on. Once I started driving at night, the light was pointed way too low. I could not see anything further than 6ft away from my car. I'm glad you can adjust it because I thought I bought a dud.

you should've seen mine when I installed it...my left headlight was 45 degrees to the left. I completely forgot to adjust it when I bolt it on. Thank god I didn't drive at night or it wouldve aimed right in the faces of oncoming traffic...
