Winjet doesn't know direction to turn for adjustment on headlights. Anyone here know?

Anyone know which direction a CW turn on the horizontal adjustment knob turns the projector?

After making an adjustment to my headlights I noticed that my driver side headlight appeared to be pointing too far to the left from center.

Knowing how tucked into the fender the horizontal adjustment knob is, I decided to save myself the headache and call Winjet (the company not a distributor) to find out what direction I need to turn the knob to adjust the projectors inward. The bolt is so tight to turn that I want to make sure that I am cranking it the right way.

The gentleman on the phone was very polite and offered me some suggestions on how Winjet suggests that their customers adjust their headlights; but he told me that Winjet does not know the direction that the knob needs to be turned. They do not have a spec sheet or anything that they could provide me, and he said that when they do in house adjustments they just play with the settings until they get it right. I am a little surprised that they have no idea, but fair enough.


Just wondering if any of the find members on this forum can save my poor knuckles a little pain.

Turning clockwise you pull the top part of the projector, so effectively pulling it to the left (on the driver side light).
Btw. my winjets were all over the place from stock, too low, and the driver side pointing too much to the center, the pass side to the right. Still not happy how they are set up..
Running HIDs in them the right projector has a nice sharp cutoff, but the left is kinda blurry not-so-sharp..dunno why
