I've had many cars with HIDs. My S2000 and other cars on the road seem to have the HID's aimed lower at the road. My question is have any of you re-aimed your lights a tad lower to the road? There's a perception that the lights are brighter but i figured out the aim is way lower. Thanks for your imput.

I had to lower mine a LOT after installation. They should have a 2 inch drop at 20 feet.
Mine had a 4 inch rise at 20 feet.

Raise? Are you sure? Well here's how to adjust them. The pic is showing the passenger side.

Mine doesn't seem like it's out of place at all, it dips a little after 20ish ft, maybe I was lucky or I'm looking at it wrong?

I had to slightly lower one side after HID. Other than that, it's been perfect.

I was thinking mine are too low, I cant rean street signs at night.
Other than that they are great.

I didn't have to adjust mine at all. You shouldn't have to as long as you're careful not to bump anything when you put the bulbs in.

Yeah, I have coilovers and have fenders even over tires so I have a 2-3º decline in my cut off line. It used to be perfect when driving down interstate being parallel w/the dividers. Thanks for pic! Very helpfull

I figure if your cutoff line is right below another "passenger" car's side mirror as you pass them on their left lane should be good indication your HIDs are aimed correctly.
