HID Head Light Adjustments

How do you make the HID beams go higher.....My beams are focused right into the ground.

There should be adjustments in the back of the headlights where you can adjust the lights vertically...I wouldn't aim them too high otherwise there will be excessive glare onto incoming traffic.

measure the headlight height from the ground to the center of the headlight.

headlight 300" from a wall, proper ride height, full tank, air pressure, etc, etc. the cutoff line should be between 4.95 and 3.94" BELOW the measured headlight height.

i can email someone an image, if theyd like.
