Default adjusting the headlights?

I just put new HID's in my car, they look great! I went to take it for a ride and i cant see 20 ft in front of me at night? Is there a way to adjust the head lights to bring them up more? How do you do it if its possible?

Supposedly there is a phillips screw at the back of the light assembly that will raise and lower the beam. However, I would put the stock bulbs in, point the car at something, and draw a line. Put the HID bulbs in and make sure they are no higher than the stock bulbs. If you aim them too high you risk blinding other drivers more than you already will be.

Just adding on to what d_ames117 has said, there are instructions in the owner's manual that tells you how to properly aim the headlights (ex. what the height and width of the beam should be). Just thought it might help.
