Headlights Left And Right

I know there isn't any adjustment screws for left and right movement on these headlights. But has anyone done anything else to adjust left and right movement on these? I finally after 3 tries of different aftermarket headlights got a pair that actually fit in, but both sides seem to be pointing to far the right. Can you move that reflector cone inside one way or another to get it point differently? I know I had to straighten the one side when I got them cause it wasn't straight. I thought about putting some washers behind the mounting tab on the side of the housing for the drivers side to try and get it to move left some. I don't know what it is with all these aftermarket headlight kits. I got a set of tinted ones they were fine except for they were too tinted, I sent them back. I got a set of clear ones with the black surround, they wouldn't mount up, I sent those back. I finally went with a more expensive brand of the clears with the black surround and they mount up but the lights are aiming way to far to the right.

Other than shimming the housing, I'm not sure what else you could do...

Are factory FX lights an option? 2013-14 would be available in HID as well.

Im going to try and shim it a little more, I put a couple tiny washers in already. I emailed the place I got them from to see if there is anything else to do, or if I should just send them back for a replacement set.

I just bought a set of aftermarket black reflector housing lights and they mounted up and adjusted without issue. In fact, out of the box they were almost spot on adjustment wise. Hope you can get it sorted.

What truck are you trying to adjust the headlights on
