Re-aligning projector
#1
So I just bought a pair of headlights off of ebay and they look pretty cool, but the halo is absurdly dim (barely visible) so I will upgrade that by taking apart the headlight in the oven and the projector is horribly aligned.
So in order for my headlights to not look completely cross-eyed on the road I have to have them look completely cross-eyed on my car. I thought that I could just take out some screws in the back then add some washers or something to help align it, but no, the little taiwainese kids have installed the projector from the front and the back of the headlight is all one solid piece.
Do you guys know if this is even do-able with the ebay headlights? I know that optimally I should just buy new projectors and do it the "right" way but I'm trying to cut down on costs here. If anybody has done this, please let me know. In return, I'll do a how-to on it once it's done.
Thanks
So to clarify: I want to take the lens off and tweak the alignment of the projector so that it is pointing in the correct direction and I don't know if this is something that's worth pursuing (ie if the projector is held in by adjustable screws or if it's just glued in or what)

Most are bolted in I believe, so hopefully one screw is on the correct side so you can shim it to get it aligned. My suggestion is to make sure you are happy with the alignment while they are on the blazer BEFORE reinstalling the lens.
