It doesn't matter what globes you have in your headlights, it should still adjust the light beam. There should be I think four on EACH side if I remember correctly. Two for the low beam and two for high beam.

If you try turning them, but doesn't move, try doing it more. As in keep turning it. One turn changes nearly f**k all, but it will aventually move the beam if you're turning the right one enough.

hexagon bolt that looks like a nail head with a plus on the end for phillips head screw driver

the stick out of the back of the headlight and there is one or two that face towards the sky from the top of the headlight

bit off topic

where can you find projector lens to do a retro fit?

can you just get the project lens itself without the socket? and mate that to the r33 socket?

can you get any old project lens that has a line in the middle or does it have to be xenon hid projector?

Just try looking on ebay.com. Not the Aussie one, but the US one. They usually have a few projectors and globes/ballasts for sale.

hidplanet.com/forums would be your best source of information.

But I only can see 2 on each side.

where is the other 2 on each side?

Try looking down near the bottom of the headlight, if you can only see two then there's only two. :)

Have you tried turning these two bolts you've found yet? make sure you turn it enough (at least 5 turns to notice something, keep an eye on the beam when adjusting). If this doesn't move it then I guess you just have to wait till a R33 owner can help you out. I'm not too sure if the 33's and 32's are the same. :)

I hope you can get this beam moved down mate. Must hurt not being able to drive around after dark.

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      I have Enkei RPF1s in 17x8 that are 7 kg. That's about as light as it is possible to get without going forged. Apparently 18x9s are only <1kg heavier. Just the wheel, obviously.

      Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.

      What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?

      I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
