Hi guys. I had HIDs installed in my 2008 Accord sedan I4 a couple of months ago. I noticed that the driver's side headlight is aimed slightly higher than the passenger's side. So I would like to lower it. If anyone can help me find pictures/videos of how to aim (lower mainly) the driver's side, that would be fantastic!
I checked a couple of pictures and threads here on DriveAccord; however, I can't seem to find that little bolt/screw. Maybe I am not looking in the right place. If anyone can take a picture for me, that would be great. Thank you very much :)

Can someone give a good guide as to how high off the ground the cutoff should be? ie. how many feet off the ground standing x feet away from the wall on a level ground or if there's any other proven method to do it

You will always want to use the left side of the beam that your projector produces as the measuring guide. The left side of the beam should be 2" lower (at 25') then the height of the center of the projector from the ground. Meaning if the center of the projector is 30" from the ground, your left side of the beam should be 28" off the ground if you are parked 25 away. Once you setup the drivers side projector, the passenger is easy since all you need to do is line it up at the same height as the driver.
Basically
1) Find a big wall, on flat and level surface. Usually in the back of big stores (walmart, target...etc...)
2) Use a tape ruler, measure the height of the headlight from the ground. If you look at plastic cover on the headlight, there's a marking where the light focus on. Picture of that marking http://i41.tinypic.com/2nbvijc.jpg . Measure from that point down to the ground.
3) Park 25 ft from the wall. Distance from wall to the focus mark on the headlight = 25ft.
4) Turn on the headlight. If you have projectors, there should be a line like this ___/----- . Use the top line as reference. Start with driver side lens. The top line should be 2 inches lower than the height from ground to focus point you measured in #2. Once you done that, simply match the right headlight to the left and voila!
