OK Apparently they don't understand English and I have asked twice with no actual answer and since you got these already.... They show the top two mounting stubs as the adjusters.
How do they work as the OEM adjusters are different and those stubs are just for securing the headlight to the header panel.

Hey Jamie, Watch the video from 1Aauto I posted on page one. They are not to hard to remove. Take your time and spread the tabs a little as you go. I just used a small pick and a heavier one (We always called it a booger hook)

At 3:35 he actually does it. Fairly easy.
A bent nail with vice grips would work on the clips if you dont have pics or an awl with a bent tip.

I first turned the two top plastic screw mounts out until there was only about the last 3/16 of the screw shaft left showing.
the top core screw mounts are threaded. the screws out of the lights will not turn. you have to unscrew the mount piece on the screw before you install.
i screwed in the two lower screws and just pushed in the two top screw mounts in just enough to put the clip's on them without fully pushing to lock them in place.
i parked that night in my driveway and adjusted my light on the garage door.
you just pull the top two screws with the plastic mounts out and twist them in our out to get the height you need.
push them back in and check again. if it's good, push the locking clips all the way down.. your done.

Doesn't that put a lot of strain and pressure on the housings? We regularly get temps below 0 here during the winter and I would really hate to have them tightened up for aiming just to have the housing break in the winter when I hit a bump. Plastic doesn't play well with the cold.

I got a pick set from harbor freight for cheap when I did mine a couple weeks ago. Has a 90 degree pic that works great but I still broke a couple getting them off. I'm not very patient is the main problem.

Your hid bulbs didn’t work because the housing is designed for an incandescent bulb. The hid bulbs scatter light all over the place instead of a focused beam with a sharp cutoff in the wrong housing. They also blind everyone on the road because of this. The human eye also thinks that the blue hue increases there visibility, but in reality is actually less effective than a incandescent.
