Question HID lowbeams

I dont know if anyone asked this before but is there any way to manually change the level of the lowbeams? Even at the highest dial setting, they still seem too low. I want them to be higher up in the air so i can see further down the road.

It's a matter of perception. You are used to normal reflector bulbs and because HID has a distinct pattern that you can see, they seem low. Turn the highbeams on and you'll see just fine.

im pretty sure you can adjust the height.
if you look open the hood and looke behind the light bulbs, you can see some gears. i am going to try that tonight if that is the gears to change the angle of the beams.

I put my dial on 2, then adjusted the headlights so that they pointed just slightly higher than they were when they were on zero. So I normally leave it on 2 but I have 2 other higher settings to use when I need them. There are 2 adjustment screws in there, the other is for the foglight height. You want the one at the bottom of the headlight assembly, between the foglight & highbeam. You have to turn it alot to make a difference.
