Default Aiming my new HID's

hey guys i installed an HID kit that i bought through american muscle on my car. Have a question the lights work great install was easy but having some trouble trying to figure out how to re-aim the headlights. The low beams seem to be brighter then the high beams. the highbeams dont show as far but more on the sides. Does this mean they might be aimed to high? Ive heard that HID's have a bigger focal point of light and that your headlights should be aimed down a tad to compensate. Just wanna see if any of you guys have experience with this? Also how do you aim the sn95 headlights? when i was doing the install i didnt see any of the normal "aiming adjustments". Thanks for any help, jay.

HID high beams are just standard lights, the high beam is not HID, thats why its hard to tell when the highs are on. thats why i didnt get the hi/low HID kit because the lows are so bright, highs are not needed. i have a set on my truck, never adjusted the housing
