Thumbs up Adjustments for HID's for everybody. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

I made this adjustment to the exact same spot they did on this link at 26 inches for the hot spot. You talking about a serious improvement in lighting up the road and i seriously recommend anybody who has HID's to make this adjustment, you would really appreciate it. Here's the link ~~~~~> http://www.hypersprite.com/auto/tech-z-003/index.asp

It also works for those without HID, or in my case, those with aftemarket HID.

Would probably work a lot better if you had fog lights as well...

I keep putting this on the to-do list... saw that same site there too, but i just can't find my 12" screwdriver
Usually you see the driver's side is at least even w/ the passenger's side, or the pass. side will be aimed a touch higher (pointed at a wall), but on mine the driver's side is actually higher than the passenger side beam.

You can tell when shining your lights on the wall. It's the brightest area on the wall where your lights shining the strongest as far as in concentration. It's pretty centralize as far as area compared to the rest of the shine on the wall. Mine was at 24inches and I raise my to 26inches.
