Exclamation Xenons aimed too low...

I'm finding that the xenon lights in my Enthusiast are aimed too low. I'm sure they do this as a compromise towards other drivers, but with any kind of speed I outrun the lights (when I can't run high beams). The lighted zone also cuts off very abruptly as opposed to fading into the distance like conventional lights.

The light is fantastic where you can see it! I just need more.

Has anyone had this problem? Have you re-aimed? How?

I'll add driving lights if I have to, but I'd much rather make the stock system work properly.

Does your enthusiast come with the HID? My Touring doesnt have any problems with the aim. If it is really off go to the Dealers they should be able to adjust them.

Mine are way too conservative as well. I will be adjusting them tonight per the FSM, but will keep them at a 'courteous' level.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to play around with them & I'll let you know how it turns out. I'll try to stay in the "courteous" zone, but it's even less courteous to ***-end somebody because I couldn't see...
