As stated on the title. I have HID's and I need to aim them a bit. They are still set JDM style. Has anyone done it?

Yeah, ive done it before.. if you put the car about 10-20 feet from a garage door on a level surface you can see how off they are.

From there, there are 2 screws on each of the lights that adjust up / down and side to side.

Just play around with them till you think they are at a good level.. thats what I had to do. I did a bit of measuring from the ground as well.

I think the lower cutoff is supposed to be like 2 feet from the ground or so.. anyone know the actual specs of cutoffs?

The screws are located on the back of the light.. i think 2 of them are for the high beam / 2 for the low (left and right for each). Basically if the screw moves around easy.. its one of the adjustment screws..

So your are way better now then before. With the HID's you can tell they are off a lot more. I will have to mess with them. I will have to find out the spec's with the car being lowered.
