Default Aiming the 00-01 HID Headlight Assembly...

I need alittle help, i just recently purchased the 00-01 HID Headlamp to replace my halogen ones... but i had a concern; the hid headlamps are auto aimed, but with a computer. Is it possible to aim it manualy just as it will be done on the halogen headlamps, since my car doesnt come with the aiming/leveling computer module or the headlights are built in with the computer module and should do it on its own?

-thanks

For manual vertical adjustment of the HID's, there is a 8 or 10mm hex nut sticking out next to the low beam HID bulb. Get yourself a metric socket wrench, and adjust as necessary for proper aim of the headlights.
