pop the lil white cap off, I ran into the same thing last year when I was HID newbie too. I brought mine down a touch so the cut off is mid-trunk level at about 2 car lengths back

I installed my HIDs yesterday and the driver side low beam is pointing down. I turned the outer knob for hours but nothing noticeable happened.

Am I turning the right knob? Or is it the one in the middle?

If it's noticeably pointing down, it might be the bulb not being seated properly. If it's pre 2010, make sure your spacer is in snug.

I re-installed he bulb and spacer seems to be snug, but the beam is still low....which screw turns the headlight up/down? The inner one?

from the pic above, inner is up/down, outter (near indicator bulb) is inwards/outwards
