How bright do you really need to go? I mean, crap, nothing like (pardon the pun) an eyesore for oncoming drivers! If you need more light on a dark road, that is what high beams are for. If around town, try the low beams and fogs (still not great for other drivers, but not as bad as higher HID's). Reaiming is just a bad idea. They are set at the factory for a reason...not blinding other drivers.

If these don't work, you might want to be tested to see if you need to limit your night driving.

You do have a point about other drivers. It's not wise to blind other drivers (I know I wouldn't like it).

Yeah I don't really want to blind other drivers. I don't care about ****ing them off, but definitely don't want to cause any accidents. But my stock HIDs don't seem to go far enough for me. I mean they're plenty bright, just don't illuminate far enough. Then there's the high beams, but those are too far/high. How accurately can you adjust the HID lowbeams?

dude, i never saw anyone complaining about HID's not being far ahead, live with it, you won't see really close up your car when you'll reaim them further ahead, just leave it like that(don't blind other people, don't change anything) , it will be the best
