Headlight Question - 08 Gl450 - NEED HELP!!

I have a 2008 GL450 with HID MTEC KIT (6000K) installed, but my GL headlight cutoff line is too low and its hard to see the road at night when driving.

I have called my dealer and they wouldn't help me at all...

Can I adjust this headlight to aim slightly higher? Please show me instruction and what is needed to readjust headlight to aim higher... SUPER THANKS !!!!!

I was also thinking to upgrade my Fog lights to HID as well. any thoughts?

there is a phillips screw on the top of the headlight assembly. Simply turn the screw one way or the other to change direction of headlight up or down. I light to do this against a garage door so I can see the difference as I am making the adjustments.

You might want to check that your new bulbs are completely in the socket. If not, they might angle up or down and throw off your aiming as well.

BTW, headlight adjustment is in your owners manual, and shouldn't be changed due to new bulbs.
