Default HID install

I had a quick question. I just installed my HID's into my SC300. Do i need to adjust the projects? Or should the projectors as they were put in stock a good enough cut off line?

Did you put an HID kit on a stock SC headlights? I think stock projectors has no cutoff, I mean light will disperse all over and will blind oncoming traffic.

I could be wrong...

You only need to adjust your projectors if they are not aimed properly.
