Lower? My truck is on a hill that is why they are up. If that's what you mean.

Halogen lights are not as bright and blinding at night as HIDs. When driving at night with HIDs in stock housings you may un-intentionally blind on-coming traffic.

HIDs are MEANT to be in headlights with projectors that have cut-off shields for oncoming traffic. You do not have projectors with cutoffs so you will be blinding people.

There is a single torx screw under the headlight you can adjust

They help alot at night, they are completely legal as of now in most states, the fogs help but heads would help the most, I dont know about 05s but big diff in the 06-08 high/low, bi-zeon means it has two beams, so high and low....they are very functional and still one of my favorite mods

ok im really aggravated i bought HID heads and fogs today the fogs work great... my heads on the other hand are not... when i have the truck off they work great when i turn the truck on they start to strobe for a second and then shut off and wont come back on... unless i hit the brights then they will come on but arent a high beam they are the same light... i know that cause when the truck is off it wont flash a high beam it just stays the same.. so what wire do i run from the battery to the lights? and how??
