Default HID S2000 Improved

I recently bought my S2000 and i love it. I get nothing but thumbs up, compliments and stares at the S2000....and maybe me and my wife, LOL.

In any case i've noticed that my low beam HID headlights are not aligned evenly. Even my friends that see me behind them say that you can see one light higher than the other.

What can I do myself to adjust the headlights so that I can even them out?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Are you sure? If i look directly in front of me with the HID's on, shouldn't it be a perfectly straight line?

Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks

Do not double-post, you already have this posted in another section of the board. Anyways, the driver's side should be aimed lower than the passenger side, they are set at the factory perfectly, leave them alone.

I believe all this is covered in the owner's manual, and probably about 1000x on here.

Your HIDs sound like they're fine

They're NOT supposed to be straight

Everyone's wrong!

Billman has a great post about this, complete with a, um, technical drawing.

Both headlights have a break in them that lines up to look like the left is lower than the right. The lights are lined up evenly, but shielded lower on the left side.

This is for not blinding oncoming traffic, but its not a left light, right light thing, its in the lenses of each headlight. Short answer is what clawhammer said - nothing is wrong.
