yes but the manual height still has to be set correct so the car knows what is the correct level...

if your getting flashed ALL the time (not the occasional person that doesnt understand legal HID projector beam cutoff) you should lower them, chances are they're way too high, ive seem alot of stock cars (HID and halogen) straight out of the factory way too high...

i've had hid's since the first day i got the car and never been flashed.....i just adjust them abit lower than the usual high. i parked my mums car in front of my car at night and then park my car in the rear and then use my mums car as a guide to how high the beam should be. i keep it just below the boot lid and it seems to keep people happy

this has got to be noobish, but isn't the euro automatic height adjustment?
how can you change them ?

its automatic height compensation... so you set the height the lights should be... and then regardless of your load (fat people in the back) it adjusts the lights...

i made a thread ages ago on how to adjust it... i would try searching but my browser is being gay

alot of euros with HIDs i find have really bright beams aimed high

NO. It is a caused by the Euro's HID projector design. It has too much glare. The cutoff line can be below the rear windscreen of the car in front, but the driver will still get glare through the rear view mirror. Cheap HIDs, the projector design is not as good as Lexus and BMW. I find Mercedes HIDs glaring as well.

i find the aurions with the HIDs the worst... they just always seem to be shining in my eyes :(

Personally I wouldn't touch the head lights, the euro has one of the most powerful lights on the road, and thats a good thing.

Don't lower the head lights just lower the car's suspension ;)

i agree it definately is the glare factor. thats why im not a fan of cheap HIDs, using HIDs for those that are always city driving? (why would you need em in the well lit streets?) and those glary ones in general.
