Question Self Level HID Adjustment - Help

Can anyone help me? I have recently install the Tein HA and lower the car to 1 inches between the fender to wheel. I know this topic has been discussed before, but could not find the detail desc on adjusting the light.

How do you tell if you Self-Level HID light need adjustment? In the OEM HID light, there is a bubble gauge that tells you if is leveled. When the power is not on. Right now, on one side is exactly in the middle and one side is off to one side. Does that mean that my Self need some adjustment to make sure the bubble stays in the middle when power is off?

Also, couple of you post on how to adjust the light by turning the ****? Can you one tell me which **** to turn… picture is worth thousand word.. can someone kindly take a picture to show me?

Thanks

I think there is a warning light within the driver's dash area that will illuminate if there is a problem.

Doubtful - you may be un uneven ground. Very few surfaces are actually level. Even if you are on a level surface, your suspension may be just settling.

I don't know anything about a "****". Sorry.

I wouldn't worry too much about it - if the leveling system is out of whack, you'd know.

Still liking the 6ks?

Yeah.. I love my Phillip 6K. Not planning to go 8K at all. I did not see anyone that has 8K D2R Bulb. The one that A1lexus has is a conversion kit.. not for OEM HID replacement bulb.
