Default HID headlight alignment

The HID headlights on my car are not properly aligned and I don't seem to be having much luck in getting Honda to do this. Any suggestions?

If your headlights have a notched pattern, there is nothing to worry about, they are designed that way. If you're in a country where you drive on the right hand side of the road, your right side notch will be higher than your left ( to prevent blinding of oncoming traffic), and vise versa.

i'll be damned (i was just gonna call the dealer about this)....guess i won't bother.

The HID pattern is not adjustable, but the level is.
You need a philips screwdriver and find the hole that leads to the back of the housing. For the drivers side, you need to move the radiator overflow container (it just pulls out, lift up).
You'll see a little slot where stick the philips screwdriver in and twist.
