Lowering Headlights after installing HID's
For those of you who have installed the Xenon Depot kit and lowered your headlights, how many complete revolutions of the adjustment screw did you guys do? I marked mine with a permanent marker and went two full turns counterclockwise on the screws. I watched on the garage door as they lowered a little bit. I'm going to try them out tonight.
Any of you lower them more than two turns?
Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. When I originally did the install, I thought the illumination was perfect, however I was more worried about blinding oncoming drivers because the beam reached so much further down the road than the halogens. I also noticed that signs up high were being illuminated well and that's when I worried about blinding oncoming drivers.
Upon testing them last night, two full turns seemed to put them a bit low, so I will put them back a complete turn. That will then put them one turn counterclockwise from factory. We'll see how that works.

I dont think you need to lower it
I did not lower mine because I thought the beam cutoff was perfect at the factory setting. When I pull up to a car in front of me my cutoff was right at the top of the trunk lid and I have not been flashed one time from oncoming traffic. Lexus does a pretty good job with the projector cutoffs and height adjustment from the factory.
