Default changing headlight patterns?

This is my first post in here, so just giving a little hello I suppose. Anyways, last week I put the Sylvania SilverStar headlights in my car, cause I didn't want to get those lame xenon ones (if I wanted xenon I wanted to do the full conversion). For those of you who haven't heard of these lights, they're high quality halogens, that burn a bright white, and have a saphire lens so they give off a slight blue tinge. Anyways, they're very nice. But the problem is the headlight pattern on my 94 accord. The stock beam seems to be pointed too much into the ground, so I don't get much of a projection (see the new VW GTI's have sweet projection). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get better projection?

Check your owner's manual...with the 6th gen, there were 2 leveling plates that you manipulated with a screwdriver.

boost them? Project them?

You can adjust the direction with the bolts on the back of the housing. Up and down and left and right

someone told me that doing that kind of thing can mess it up real bad though. IS that so? or should I start tinkering?
