Hello everyone.
I have a question to ask. I recently changed my D1S HID bulbs I got as a gift. One of mine was started to go bad.
These (http://www.theretrofitsource.com/components/bulbs/morimoto-xb35-d1s-bulbs.html#.VGP-sPnF98E) are the ones.

My plans were to add these (http://www.theretrofitsource.com/components/bulbs/d1s-osram-xenarc-66144-cbi-49199.html#.VGP-9_nF98E), but I will just keep them until the above ones go out.
I had the morimoto's in for two days. I noticed I got flashed twice on the Highway driving, so that tells me they are sticking up to much.
Does any one know what the right adjustment would be for the bi-xenons?

I found this (http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/310536-Any-way-to-aim-headlights-higher?highlight=headlight) as a guide, and I know this (http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/624056-Auto-Leveling-doesn-t-work-after-body-shop-work) isn't going to work for me(non adaptive auto leveling)

I did some more digging and found this (http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html) site that has a very detailed explanation when it comes down to that.
Any thoughts on this?

I have adjusted prior cars, but I wanted some more input on these.

This is what I ended up with after I followed these instructions.
I started with this, but I did play around with them before. (about 30 feet)

End result was this:

Feel free to add some inputs please. I didn't want to add more links I had found.

You can simply aim your headlights with the plastic allen head adjusters on the top of each headlight (yes even if you are bi-xenon AFS). I adjust using this tutorial:

Thank you. That's the same link I have above. You learn something new everyday.
