Aiming HID headlights

Aiming HID headlights
I just put a set of 6000k hid lights in my car and was wondering if anyone else has re-aimed their headlights after the conversion. Does anyone get flashed by oncoming cars?

I had these before I switched to ACAs. Mine were fine at the stock location and no, I was never flashed..........but every car is different, so if your getting flashed, lower the setting a bit

After i installed mine the drivers side was a little low. I adjusted it to match the other side. The only time i get flashed is if i have my headlights and fogs on.

Been a year for me with not one flash from other cars. (HID low beams and HID fogs always on when dark).
I have never adjusted my aiming from factory (low beams). I installed my fogs from scratch since I have a Z06, but I adjusted them aiming at the wall, and they seem ok.

Brought the passenger side up and out some to match the drivers. That creates a new problem now. The high beams are out of whack. However the low beams are so clear that I no longer have any use for high beams.
I've been flashed only one time coming into my neighborhood, which is pitch black, so I think any light would seem bright. Never on any hiway or back roads yet. The acid test is as long as the L.E.O.'s leave me alone I'm doing OK.

The HID low beams and fogs should to be aligned per the GM service manual. I will definitely align mine when I install them in the next two weeks. I don't want to blind anybody, especially if they're heading toward me.
