My HID's are way too bright/high.

So I had some HID's installed today at a local shop and I was eager to try them out and I took them for a spin around my neighborhood... long story short, these lights make my brights look like running lights.

Is there any way I can make them shine lower(like not darker but like aim lower) because as of now I can't drive at night. I'll get pulled over by the first cop on the road.

Here is a pic but I don't know if you will be able to tell anything from it. These are my new normal headlights from about 150 feet away.

These are made by a company called EuroEFX they are 6000K. I won them and got them installed for free at a local shop and thought they wouldn't be bright enough. I think I might go back there and see if they can help but idk.

Any help?
Thanks.

page 248. tells you how to adjust the aim. the FSM is a little vague as to how to access the adjustment screw.. just open the hood and look down on the headlight in the area that was covered. you'll see a few holes big enough for a screwdriver to fit through. look at the largest one that's kind of elongated, you should see a screw where a phillips head screwdriver can fit into. rotate it clockwise to bring the aim down.

hope this helps

Thanks man!

I'll do this tomorrow night probably.

Those of you that personally adjusted them: do you adjust them to spec or do you aim them a little high/low?
