The driver's side is supposed to be a little bit lower so it doesn't shine directly into the eyes of oncoming traffic. When you did the install, you didn't move the headlights did you?

Is it mandatory to adjust the headlights after installing these aftermarket HIDs? Some have said because of the glare that you should lower the beam, is this true?
Thanks
Thanks
