Adjusting headlights
Hi all
First off would like to say, i bought tore's t-light and what a great product! And he is a very good at customer service.. recommend!
Well u guys can see the picture i tried adjusting it. Theres 2 allen bolt one top and one lower bit seems both bolts only adjusts up and down. I cant figure how to adjust sideways or lets called it left and right.. i think my lights are aiming a bit left.
Any ideas? Am i missing something?

I believe the left/right position is a function of the outer lens as there are multiple part numbers for this lens . The beam is not intended to go strait forward by default and in fact is designed to project the uneven pattern your car exhibits. I am going out on a limb but I believe the pattern your car has is the proper one for the UK as in the US it would tend to get in the eyes of the apposing traffic. In my case with the HID bulbs I adjusted the beam height to the US DOT specified and found apposing traffic was flashing me thinking I was on high beam. I readjusted it slightly lower and was good to go.

Not sure how to do this as it is not a function of the lens pod.

OP- On US 993s there's a gauge visible through the glass lense you use to set the beam laterally. IIRC, the top hex head adjustment screw adjusts laterally. The bottom hex screw adjusts up/down.

use a long allen key to adjust the aim, there is a pass through from the frunk to the headlight adjustment screws and is covered with a black plastic "snap." I forgot the directions they turn but you need to use them together to get lateral movement. Each screw will aim the lights at a diagonal. when adjusting the lights it looks like a W motion. Use one screw to aim up and the other to aim it back down and in the process it will move the lights aim left or right.
