How to AIM headlights on '01

Hi guys. I did a search but found a lot of iirelevant posts. I need some help... I got some aftermarket HIDs that I want to aim. Can any1 help me out with some pics even on where the adjustments are? I see some long screw coming out of thew housing, is that the adjustment? Thanks.

its a plastic hex nut. turning 1 way or the other will move the beam up or down. Pretty straight forward.

Right, I have the ebay angel eye projectors on mine (on it when I bought it) beam pattern is no good, but I'd like to stop blinding passing planes with it, is the procedure the same? I took a good look at the housing and initially have found no way to adjust. Anybody have these/have adjusted?

Thanks!

To adjust the OEM headlights isn't it the plastic stem (plastic hex) that is sticking out with the white top? Sorry for the blurry picture.

Ok, on the ebay headlights, behind your low beams there is a bolt, you can turn it with either a phillips head or an 8mm wrench. Clockwise aims the lights down. If you are looking at the back of the projector housing, the bolt is towards the bottom, and on the side nearest the grill.

Hope this helps someone besides me.....
