The headlights can be adjusted but the adjustment can be difficult to get to. This will change both low and high beam at the same time. When I fitted my HIDs I did not find it necessary to adjust the headlamps though.
I have fitted aftermarket HID's to my previously halogen projector headlights. Is there a way to bring the high beam down without also lowering the shutter on the low beam?

No, the adjustment is to the combined unit. WSM section in this thread:

Thanks everyone.
When I upgraded to HID, I fitted one globe then compared it with the still installed halogen on the other side. It lined up perfectly with the halogen & with the tape marks I made on the garage door. I have never been flashed by other road users so the adjustment is about right.
A couple of nights ago I happened to drive straight at a building with the lights in bright. There was a lot of bright light high up, about where the possums would be. Seeing as I like to look for roos, rather possums, got me wondering about some adjustment.
Overall, the lights are a huge improvement from standard.
