Leveling headlights?

Does anyone know how to level the headlights? Both my HIDs and DRL/high beams are off R>L.

I think a lot of HID's have the drivers side lower than the passenger side on purpose. This is to keep from shining in oncoming drivers eyes.

Yes, they are not supposed to be level to each other.

A lot of people, including me, have asked that question. For me, it was my first set of HIDs. It seems that it should be mentioned by the dealer or at least in the manual. It can be quite annoying to pick up a new car and automatically think the headlights are out of alignment....
