Default HID Headlight Aim Spec?

Does anyone have the factory spec for correct aim of the OEM AFS equipped HID headlights?

The dealer has fixed my passenger side light twice, and this time the light cutout (both sides) is only about 25 feet in front of the car. I'm almost positive it should be higher but I'd like something solid before I go back to the dealer for a THIRD time. I know they're going to argue with me.

The cutoff is so low now that I cannot see around highway off ramps or far enough ahead to safely see anything that might enter the road in front of me. I'm getting very frustrated with this issue.

Thanks guys...

Not sure the spec's but Ive had the same issue. I just adjusted them myself i believe there is a write up on here somewhere if u do a search. The adjustment is actually on the rear axel. I adjusted mine myself...

I found that when I searched... but other people have told me that only effects the auto-leveling... not the actual baseline aim.

I'll give it a shot I guess. Can't be any worse than it already is.
