Default HID Headlights Not Pointing Evenly

Alright, more than likely this is a no00oob mistake... but if someone could let me know how to fix this.. I'd appreciate it.



HIDs are hitting the ground in a funky way...

More than likely the said above.

But, do you still have the OEM halogen headlight assemblies that came with your base Z? If so, you'll never get the proper light output with an HID kit since the projector lens themselves are manufactured differently than the OEM 03-05 HID headlight projector lens. You'll be blinding oncoming traffic with this setup as well. You've been probably seen other people on the road do the same.

I only know because I was going to go the same route. But I did some research and found that out. I opted for the better looking and way better light output of the 06+ headlights. At least you didn't go above 6K for your bulbs. No rice wanted.
