No, it means that you only need one to be adjustable for each axis, i.e. one
horizontal and one vertical.  The other two can be fixed.  In contrast to
Robert's experience, I have always found the new ones to be very tough and
hard to break.  But once they weather a bit, as he says, they're
extraordinarily fragile.  Replace 'em all, and have fun....

Well, if they come without threads.. does that mean they're already
preadjusted for E-code lights (aimed lights...)...
