i just recently installed some 5000k hids into my 07 sedan and took it out on a long highway trip. all night long the oncoming drivers were high beaming me to "turn off my high's" when infact i didnt have them on.

i looked under the hood quickly to see if there was a quick adjustment screw so that i could angle the headlights more towards the ground but i didnt find anything.

can anyone sugguest anything before a cop pulls me over...

thx

if you look down into one of the bolt holes surrounding the headlight under the hood, youll see a green screw, and that is the adjustment screw

Does this green screw also exist in the coupe oem HID package? If so, I wanna angle mine up a little higher.

i did expect a certain level of people on the road wouldnt like them, but not this many. all i did was take the halogen bulb out and installed the hids. no adjustments. ill play with the green adjustment screw tonight

on friday night, i was driving in the mountains, came up on a lineup of cars (single lane at this point) and was behind this one guy for less than a min and i kept my spacing. the road quickly opened up for a passing lane but i was only able to pass the one car. well after i passed him and was like 10 cars ahead, he turned his hi beams on to try and piss me off. i know he was trying to piss me off cause he did it like 6 times over the coarse of 5 minutes.
