Adjust height of xenon HID
After dealer replace the headlight assembly (driver side) due to water condensation, the xenon HID cutoff line is now way too low on the ground. Dealer said it meet the spec. so they won't adjust the height.
How can I adjust it myself while not void any warranty?

Open the hood, near the lights there are "dimmer" type nobs. I think they do it.

I have a wheel knob (dimmer type) behind each headlight. Maybe they control the radio

There's no knob to adjust. There's a hole that has a +/- beside it and if you look into the hole, there's a gear that can be turned with a philips screwdriver. That's how you aim your beams higher or lower.
