Default HOW HARD to get to the vertical HID adjustment??

So im pondering should i go at my lunch break to NISSAN so that they can adjust my HID's higher (not a lot i jus want to be able to see a lil farther without blinding people) or should i save the gas and do it myself...problem is how hard is it to find/get to the adjustment gears (for the vertical adjustment)...???i searched but the how to's werent very good

keep it where it is, xenons arent made to shoot farther, they are too bright, any higher and youll be one of "those guys" that blinds everyone and gives HID a bad name.

if you are in a place where theres no one to blind, thats what you have highbeams for.

first off im very familiar with HID's and im not one of "those guys".....i just think that HID's along with being brighter are supposed to show a longer view of the road, a few people have successfully vertically adjusted their HID's and i would like to do the same, but not too much....it is true tho it does seem as they are a little too far pointed down, how do i get to these adjustment gears?i dont see them

xenons are not supposed to shoot farther for the record, its actually the down side that they iluminate less area more. nature of the beast.(or supposed to be anyway)

anyway to answer your question there should be a screw towards the back of the housing. just below or next to the actual HID backing of the bulb. next to closer to the engine side of it. this will raise or lower the level.

The ground kit is really easy to put in. Should only take you about 15-20 minutes max.

I'm with you on the head lights. Mine neet to be pointed up just a bit. They do a good job of lighting up the ground about 15 feet in front of my car. That's not so good for me driving on the freeways here in LA. It would be nice to see the couch or shopping cart or stalled car alittle sooner. I don't think my lights would be any more blinding then the big A$$ SUV's that populate SoCal. Get one of those behind you and you can feel the back of your head getting hot.
