This looks like teeth or gears that are then rotated by using a phillips screwdriver when
turning the teeth with the phillips head. This is the adjustment for height. There is another adjustment mechanism for side to side. This is not necessary after lowering.

Your welcome.

You said your two HID's are inconsistent...You want to level the brightness?

To be honest...I am not sure if it's possible.

Maybe there is a way to tweak it but with all equipment being the same...I wouldn't know how.

I'll keep looking though...

Mine are parallel from what I can see...

That was the first time I had heard of aiming one higher than the other.

It is normal for the passenger side to be slightly higher than the driver(so you can see the side of the road, but not blind oncoming drivers). On a nice level ground, the cutoff of my lights as they reach for the horizon looks like this:

_______________/'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ' Well, sort of. You get the idea.
