Adjust as in what?
Just get HID's
If you mean to angle the light down, Im fairly sure there are grey coloured bolts that you turn either way to go up and down, and another for side to side etc.
or?......

there are 2 bolts on each light to adjust the vertical and horizontal.. i read somewhere about this.. the lights suck really badly for me too,, so im thinking about just getting HIDs..

Is there any modification required to fit HID lights, or are they a straight swap?

Franky what do you mean mistake?
My 6000k's are fine. Yes they are bright, but I have not had anyone flash me yet.
They seem good in the wet too, with no loss of visibility.
Do people think different brand globes have slightly different outputs?

I found mine to be a bit too dim, they are ok around the city, but when you get out to the sticks or around some twistys, it could be a bit better.

lol my passenger side bulb is 4300k and driver side bulb is 6000k. 6000k looks better, but the visibility of 4300k is far superior.... especially in the sticks.

yup both HIDs. passenger side is JDM HID headlight, driver side is aftermarket HID kit.

i have the same problem as you yumcha. I need to adjust mine higher, as they are set really low when i put the HIDs in.

very simple install
pretty much plug n play except you need
to drill a small hole to feed the cables
through the cap behind the H/L
shouldnt take longer than 30 mins for a clean install

agreed
the factory 4300K in my mum's euro shits all over my 6000K
as far as lighting goes, but the colour of the 6000K is damn nice
