You're most welcome.

At least at the beginning of the delivery process, the cars were coming out with the lights aimed too high.

Thank You for the great information! I adjusted my lights down after reading your advice and I no longer get high beamed by oncoming traffic.

You're welcome. Not only was I being flashed at by oncoming drivers, but I just felt they were aimed too high for good road visibility. Haven't been flashed once since adjusting them.

Like an idiot, I tried to figure this out myself and now one headlight is hitting the ground and the other is blinding Hummers. Do you know how to turn them from right to left? It seems to me that the factory left light is turned way over to the right on mine. I put 6000k HIDs and now I can't drive at night for fear of getting shot.
