I’ve always been interested in these, I just don’t want them to have worse light output then stocks. If I’m gonna spend $1000 on some headlights it better be for an improvement.

Totally, on the back of the headlights it says not to adjust them more than 3 complete rotations in either direction. Otherwise the adjustment will break

thats good to know. The morimoto (basically the same as J's as theyre both made by coplus) had big issues with people not being able to align them correctly and the adjusters breaking which moved me away from these headlamps. I really like them so i may look into them once again.

I really like them as well. If someone who owns them can confirm that they are at least as good as stock.

Yeah, I could be mistaken. But a lot of people maybe didn't read the back of the headlights where it says not to adjust the screw more than 3 rotations in either direction. Otherwise it can break

I saw somewhere that these have automatic level adjustment motors in them for the european market. Can you tell if they are on the US spec lights as well? It's possibly that this part is included on all of them, and the default motor position is too far down to allow the manual adjustment portion to reach the proper height, hence the broken adjusters from people trying to move them too far. If this were the case, I would think it would be possible to apply some voltage to move the automatic adjustment portion to a more suitable position prior to making the manual adjustments.
