Default How to properly aim OEM HID headlights?

Does anybody have the specifications regarding how to properly aim your OEM HID headlights? I put the stock HID bowls into my non HID headlights, had to rig up the non HID brackets to the HID bowl on the passenger side, so I think the level is off a little bit on that side, but my driver side bowl should be ok.

Does it say it in the owners manual? I don't have one, as my dog ate it (literally)

Cars that came with HID's have motors in them and sensors on the bottom of the car that automatically level the headlights.

Please read my post again, I did not have them factory, I installed the OEM HID bowls, and do not have the sensors/motors that the auto leveler has.

But you can do the same leveling procedure with the lights on the wall and all.
