There are 2 adjusters on the back of each headlight. I highly reccomend you follow the adjustment procedure in the Helm service manual. Misadjusted HID's will blind oncoming traffic.

The correct light pattern will have the driver's side light lower than the right.

You didn't need to remove the entire light to replace the bulbs. removing thefront fender liner clips on each side gives you enough room to replace the bulbs.
so i can access the adjusters from underneath the fender?

You can get to the adjusters from the top, through the hood opening.

Just the fender liner. Remove the clips on the edge of the wheel well and the ones in the middle of the well, about midway up the tire. From there you can pry back the fender liner and gain access to the bulb/socket. They are a bayonet mount - twist to unlock and remove/install.

Is it possible you're getting less light output @ 6600k than you were with the OEM bulbs?

What should the distance be from the front bumper to where the headlights meet and form that "box?" (like in the picture). I don't know how high or how low I should make my headlights. What's factory?
