Normally it's just what u said. A screw or nut which is typically seen from the top of the housing. Depends on what brand lights you bought tho... can u post a pic of the housing ?
Be careful in adusting them, I had a set that when adjusted, it came off the gear when turned too far the wrong way !

thanks people . i got through with it. it had three sets of screws on the high beam light and 2 sets of screws on the low beam. when i actucally drive the vehicle i know if it was adjusted properly. from before i adjusted the light to after the reflection from it on a wall came down almost 12inchs. i think the brand is clr from by bobbys auto.

I have the same problem. These are what the back of my projector case looks like, as well as the front. I got them from Bobby's.:

the best way i focus mine was in the road at night time. so i could of seen how far the light was and the width of it. take care when focusing the high beam, cause the screws can fall of the lens when adjusted to much.

Could I do the same screw method with the Ek3 ?
I replaced my originals with the "OEM" ones sold by Bobbys...I was thinking that they probably suck guess they just need adjustment
Thanks
