Adjusting Screws: 63121385397
Black plastic hat thingies that go on top of the screw: 63121378369

Get 8 of the first, and 12 of the second, and you'll be good.
This is because there are only four actual 'adjusters' per side, but six affixation points per side. One rod on each light is non-adjustable, and can be left as is.

thanks for the info, ill run out to the stealership asap

Edit!!: Apparently the adjusting screws with AND without plastic handles sticking out the back are the same P/N (go figure). You NEED 8 adjusting screws, 4 with handles and 4 that don't have to have handles. This is because the low beams can be adjusted using a philips screwdriver from the front of the light, while the highbeams can ONLY be adjusted from the rear using aforementioned handles!

Just a heads-up :)

where do you adjust them front the front with a phillips? Just curious, since I need to adjust my lows

[NC325iC]

so i need eight per side?
or 4 per side?

[MrK]

PER SIDE, you need:

6 black hats
2 adjuster screws WITH handles for adjustment from behind the light
2 adjuster screws with handles OR with a philips head to adjust using a screwdriver from the front.

This is because the highbeams can't be adjusted from the front of the screw, the screw head is fully covered by the headlight bucket. Driving lights can be adjusted from the front using a screwdriver to turn the adjuster head OR from behind like the highbeams, with the handle.

I hope this clarifies the issue, and I apologize if you got mixed up.

Oh, and good luck removing the old screws, that can be a bitch :)

Nice tip on adjusting the lows from the front. I'll have to check that out. Its a bitch to adjust it from the rear since I had to mount my HID ballast and ignitors right near the adjuster on one side.
