Mine seemed to adjust ok. Took it out to my work at night and aimed at the semi dock. Measured the distance and height and adjusted as best as I could. Mine seemed to respond and only took a few turns of the screwdriver.

I feel your pain. I tried to adjust mine tonight (still not there). The passenger side wasn't bad to get to. The driver's side with my supercharger clocked where it is makes adjusting the screw hell. I have a low profile ratcheting screwdriver but am only able to do small incremental turns.

Can those who have adjusted theirs verify you go clockwise to "lower" the beams? Almost every other headlight on the market you go counter-clockwise to lower. Am I crazy? Also, it would be the same for the right and left headlight? I.e. it doesn't change based on what side you're adjusting? Thx for any feedback.

I haven’t noticed anything like that. I tend to look at the reflections in the car in front of me a lot since installing these.

Does it do this more or less with the lights on or off? Or does it not matter? I wouldn’t think it would.

Does this occur with both headlights or only one? If both, do they occur at the same time with the described flickering?

Either you have a defective strip within the headlight or your wiring for the DRL needs to be resecured?

I ordered mine in April and received them on the 18th of this month. Here's and imgur album of them on a Monterey Blue Z for anyone curious

It happened once and hasn't occured again. I had the lights off.
I wish I took a picture but I came out and there was what looked like two gaps in the drl on one side, drivers side. While driving I used my turn signal and back came the whole drl strip with no gaps. I haven't seen it again.

No fllickering, just two gaps in the drl strip on the drivers side. I havent seen it happen again since that once.

Okay, well that's good. It could be nothing, but it could also mean that that particular strip could be faulty inside the headlight.

I would strongly recommend you send an email to the company that shipped it to you to begin an email chain with documented time stamp. That way, in case it goes bad in the near future, you may be eligible for a warranty case. They may even consider sending you a replacement headlight now too.

I've just installed these yesterday, I know this is prominently a US based forum, but did anyone get the RHD version of these? I've had to extend the DRL wire since there's no way it is long enough to reach the fuse box and the closest headlight to it, wondering if anyone else had this issue.

Also, in the instructions there a small box stating that for sequential indicators, you have to leave the orange and purple wires connected. However, there was a separate bit of paper that said the opposite, as well as every install video I see says to disconnect them. Anyway, I disconnected them but still only have solid indicators. help

Are you sure you disconnected the correct connection? There are two places where the wires are already plugged in (the other two connectors are for the main headlight harness and the fuse relay harness). Make sure you disconnect the correct one, which should be the black connector (not the white connectors).

For RHD cars I'm assuming your battery compartment is on the right hand side (in front of the passenger seat) and your brake fluid reservoir is on the left hand side (when standing in front of the car looking into the engine bay, so brake fluid reservoir is in front of the driver on RHD layout). With that being said, shouldn't the fuse relay harness be the same? Short side attaches to the passenger (side with the battery) and long side attaches to the driver.
