HID Light adjustment

In search of some help, I installed after market HID lights (Including light Assy) and there re no adjustments on the new housing, right now they are close but the passenger side is shinning high. Am I screwed and there is nothing I can do?

If there are no adjusting screws at all.. I guess you could shim the mounting screws with washers. If the screws aren't long enough because you need more washers you would need to go to the hardware store and get longer ones.

+1 to what moymurfs said. I've done that a few times with washers.

So after long thinking and some research, I am to file/ shave the high side of the light flange so it moves the light down... Will take a little time and patience but that's really the only solution (For now).
