Default EDM STi Projectors w/ HID upgrade Questions

Hey Fellas,

Got the EDM STi projectors w/ a HID kit. It seems as though the beam pattern of the lights are a bit off. Does anyone know the proper/technical/factory followed procedure on how to correctly aim or level the the lights. I mean do you have to be a certain distance from a wall? Does the top of the __/ __/ beam pattern have to be a certain number of feet from the ground? Say I were to bring it in to a shop to have a "professional" aim it for me, what steps would they take to do so? If it's easy (which is seems to be), then I should be able to adjust them myself right? If I'm wrong please let me know. I've done a number of searches to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

- Logan

Dear god, don't pay someone else to do this for you. It's so easy you might kick yourself for even thinking about it.

Step 1: Equip yourself with an 8mm wrench or a philips screwdriver.
Step 2: Read http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/aim/aim.html
Step 3: Locate the two white hex heads on each light. One is the vertical adjustment, the other is horizontal.
Step 4: Aim your headlights.
Step 5: Crack open a beer. You're done.
