How far left? You'll need to take some photos and post them so we can see. I left my optima at OEM settings and my HIDs shine fine. Just kinda wish they didn't have such a "flair" at the end of the beam.. lmao..

Well, I don't know about you BJM, but I've noticed two things since I've installed my HIDs.
1) My lights are MUCH more brighter/whiter than most cars on the road, any cars with HIDs installed still looks "yellow" compared to mine. Which is wierd... but kool.
and 2) just a day or two ago, I've noticed that my bulbs have shead some of the "blue" hue and is now a much more intense "white" light on the ground. Maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me.. or maybe it's true.. either way, it's kool!

A MUST recommend for anyone out there who is looking for the SAFEST way to drive on the roads at night,.. and even make your ride look hotter! NEWayz, just wanted to share my thoughts..

If anyone is interested in upgrading their halogen bulbs to brighter/whiter HIDs then please let me know. I sell upgrade kits.

OH, btw tukibird, I'm not sure if you could adjust the lights left to right.. but you can adjust up and down. That's as far as I can help. Sorry.
