dealer to reaim headlights?

I know how to reaim my headlights myself. However, it can't be very accurate. So would the dealer reaim my headlight properly for me? I want to get it done right. I'm going to get this done first before I put my Hanabi HIDs in. Thanks.

First off aim them AFTER you put new bulbs in. As far as the dealer aiming them for you? FORGETABOUTIT !
Go find a nice wall someplace with a nice level surface. Car away from the wall 30 feet or so, the lights should hit the wall just slightly lower then the center line of your car. Drive around and check to see where there hitting the road. You can aim HID's to hit the road a bit further out then Halogen bulbs, but don't go to far because you will blind people coming at you. There's a fine line from where your OK to when people flash you.

When you get your inspection sticker from the state. Some might not have one.
