Need help aiming my headlight.

Well when i bought my TL it came with halogens(yea i know, previous owner took out the hids and spliced in 9006 bulbs and left the hids to the side). Well i got some 8000k d2r bulbs for $40 in town(was looking for 6000ks but couldnt see shit at night so i had no choice). When i put them in i saw why the previous owner put in the halogens, the pass. side ballast is out so i just have one hid and one halogen at the moment. But my hid isnt on the ground its up in the trees and wherever. How can i re-adjust my headlights?

There should be a screw or turn dial that you can turn.

are you sure its a ballast out and not just a bulb?
if ballast it means there IS a leaky seal on the housing to its front clear cover, moisture gets in kills bulb and drips down onto ballast-killing it
must replace or repair housing to fix permanently

try the search feature and you will find procedure- there is a V channel on the top-back of the housing- slide a + scredriver down that groove and when it hits the toothed wheel start turning it- that moves the adjustment

8000k you wont see much of the road- way too high a color- nearly purple
4300 was stock
5000 best option replacements
