just adjust them. there should be a screw on the top. you really need projectors for it to work correctly. hid without proectors is a bad thing.

you will be glaring no matter what you do.

next time do a little reading about what your doing before you do it.

HID are not meant for halogen reflector headlights.
they throw glare all over the place.
Dont be surprised if the next police officer who drives past you turns around and shows you HIS blue lights.

im with anomolous on this one.. the light output of hid's vs regular halogen lighting is ridiculously brighter. so do everyone a favor and buy some projectors.

mine dont blind anyone, ive had friends drive past and in front of me and even all around cops they dont mind, IMO HID's in projectors that dont level out when going over a bump by themselves are even more blinding because it directs right in your eyes but that doesnt happen very often, HID hurt eyes no matter what their in is the moral of what im trying to say
