Default Is this an appropriate representation?

<center><img src="http://www.doodmonkeyradio.com/~s4madman/audifiles/1-hid-comparison-1.JPG"></center><p>This is not my car. If the 20' garage shot is correct, then my headlights are WAY off. With my e-codes, the two kinks in the middle of the light are aligned on top of eachother. It seems if they are spread apart like in this photo, you'd get better light coverage on the ground. No?

Default You can just take it to your dealership and have them do it...

And then from there i would adjust them to your liking. Thats what i did anyway...when the dealership did it, they seemed way too low. So i adjusted them a bit higher...and now they light up the road perfect...only been flashed once by on coming traffic.

Default Yeah, but they charge me $45 everytime they do it! :(

82,000 miles is bad sometimes.

Default For some reason I can't level mine either. Just like you said.

I might ask them to make sure I put all the components in properly.
