2k2 HID question

For those of you who installed 2k2 HIDs on your max, I was wondering after you aim your lights, is the lights glaring to oncoming vehicles? Somehow, I find my low beam in the right position but somehow, an oncoming car from the other end flashed high beam at me. I flashed back showing him that it is not my high beam.... and he got ****ed off and turned on his high beam and pointed his center finger at me. I was wondering should I lower my lights further or should is it just the way HIDs are?

Well I wrote back almost 2months ago how to do a exact headlight aim on the car. This is because we dont have a level bubble on our headlights.

Let me see if I remember, better yet here is a nice website on it
http://www.autooptiks.com/aiming.html

Do that, that is the correct most way to have it done, and this is the same procedure if you lowered the car. This is where if you did have a bubble level it would not work cause it does not compensate for the car being lowered.

Well I can say probably do what Paul did and go to a shopping center and use the building as a wall.
