7th gen accord headlight aiming

Installed a HID kit in my 2003 Accord yesterday and the headlights are now out of aim. It seams everytime you install a new set of bulbs the aiming goes out... Anyone know how to aim the headlight?

Thanks in advance

best way is to find a wall and have your car about 25ft. away or so and just try to aim them so thier level with each other.

here maybe this will help.

Sorry I guess what I was trying to say is, where are the adjustment screws to aim the headlights. (everything is so jam packed in there, it is hard to find anything in that engine bay)

I had those housings... the leds were troublesome... every other day one went out.

go with a retrofit, those projectors won't aim your hid bulb anywhere, anyways.
