More Light or Another Fight?

I still haven't adjusted the new headlights on Karl. I'm considering buying the right pair with the adjusters which my current set doesn't have. I'm having some difficulty finding even the part number. So I'm hoping someone will come along and help me out with that. I'd like to buy the entire set with the glass, bulb, backing, etc.

On the other hand, I found something at bavauto.com that might help.

It doesn't really say much about them, but I'm assuming they might help, but why the hell is the right one priced at almost double the left one?!

If anybody knows if this will help me or not, gimme a shout. Thanks!

EDIT - Found the headlight sets from realoem.com. $252USD each. My only hope is that these guys are more reliable than 2002AD.

I love the headlights I currently have don't get me wrong and at $100 plus shipping which was what I paid for the pair, I thought I couldn't go wrong. It's just that the right one needs to come up a little more and the left one is pointing to the left a little too far.

This sucks. I hate being wrong especially when I'm trying to penny pinch. If I buy those buckets, which is highly doubtful, it would be more economical to just get the entire set. I'm assuming Todd, your's came with the adjusters and everything?

Buying from a US supplier may not be the way to go. You need headlight assys for a RHD drive car. The glass/lens is different, and possibly the location of the adjusters(?).
