Default is the oem hid for the 98 and up jdm headlights adjustable???

I'm sure that all the oem hid owners have the same problem. You pull up to a four way stop to see the cut off line for your HID on the other drivers forhead. Cops have pulled me over because my left headlight blinded them. I know for the non-HID housings there are adjustable gear looking things. So can the OEM HID be adjusted enough so that it does not blind people????? Just a thought because I feel sorry for my friends that I am driving behind. They always complain they can't see. So all of you jdm hid headlight guys, is it adjustable, or is this something that I just have to deal with??? TIA

-Ken

They are adjustable. There is a tab on the black metal covers over the ballasts, It has the letter "U" and "D" along with arrows to tell you which way to turn it

i adjusted mine the best i could, and it still blinds oncoming traffic.
its weird, the right light seems to cut down alot sooner then the left, making the left light blind oncoming traffic.

i always wondered if this is because the JDM front's lights are setup for right hand drive and wont adjust properly to left hand drive spec

the right side is the driver side so it will be lower and more concentrated
whereas the left side will be broad and sweep to the outside more.

I like it cuz it puts more light on my side of the road
