with the hood raised, look right above the main headlamp and you'll see a small opening showing a spot where you insert a 1/4 allen wrench (its a small hole closer to the main headlamp) and turn counter-clockwise to lower the beam...

But isn't there something wrong with the HIDs if you need to adjust the beam aiming when changing the bulb (not a big surprise from after market kits though)? Check how the high beams aim after you try to make the low beams OK. Test lights against the wall, keep one side original and the other one new and look at the light pattern, how much glare difference can you see?

If you read the OP, I believe he installed complete assemblies (to replace Halogens) not just changed the bulb.
