Default Headlight Adjustment Issues

I recently replaced both headlight cases as they were VERY clouded. However, what I thought would be a straight up plug and play situation has turned into an adjustment nightmare. Its no problem to get the vertical adjustment right. I've adjusted them horizontally as far as they'll move. Both headlights are now crooked to the driver's side (see pics) and the beams are still too far to the passenger side. Any ideas anyone?

Did you get the two mounting tabs each have into both of the slots? If you missed one, it might cant them to one side.

When I did headlamp replacement, I didn't like the new brackets so I disassemble my old ones and transferred the hardware over to the new bulb compartment. If you have your old headlamps, you might compare them to the new ones to see if they have the same dimensions etc.

Agree 100% with Christine above. Aftermarket head lights are hit or miss on if you can get them aligned.
