HID bulb aim too low?

My HID's are great but I can only see 10 foot in front of me at night I have just discovered. Anyone know how you adjust the beam upwards on these?

 

I thought maybe you have these lights on at full beam all the time so tried it but must have burn't out at least 5 pairs of other driver's retinas. Don't think they were too chuffed with me judging by their flashing :p

 

Cheers

If you have a look at the back of your headlights, there's some screws you can turn to adjust the aim.

 

On the internet somewhere there's an explanation of aligning them correctly by parking opposite a wall, and marking the height of the beam.

 

Garages have the equipment to do it too. I think it's part of the MOT test. I haven't adjusted my headlights, and my HIDs shine a long way but it passed the MOT fine yesterday (with cats out too!)
