Adjust HID headlights for SSS package?

Can the angle of the headlights for an '10 EVO X with the SSS Package be adjusted?

I have the dial set to (0) the lowest setting and when the lights are on at night, they still point to low. Is there something that can be done to raise the angle of the projection? If so has anyone done it and what do i need to do to make this adjustment?

I'm pretty sure that's the point-- you're not supposed to blind other drivers. If you need more light, you're probably in a more rural area without streetlights in which chase there would be an opportunity to flip your high beams on.

If you're not satisfied, however, check the top/back of your headlight housing under the hood for a ratcheting type adjustment. That's where they typically are on most cars.

When I have the dial on 0 the lights point to the highest point. When I put it on 2 or 3 they point lower.

I had that diagram when I tried the first time to make the adjustment. The location of the adjusting bolt/screw is now clear.

Checked in there first and there was nothing about adjusting the lights.

0 is the highest setting. You can't make them any higher. I have them set at 0 on my 2011 MR and it seems fine to me.

2-3 is about the normal for most.. (off the topic) only thing I don't get is that angled HID's beam...why not straight?

Lower on driver's side to prevent blinding oncoming traffic.
