Pretty sure RD2 is the same way as RD1, so open your hood and find 2 screws near your headlights, turn then and it will either raise it or lower it, or put it to the left or to the right.

they're not there for some odd reason. and the holes in the body there have nothing under them. HID's shine in all directions lol! i have absolutely NO need for foglights even though i use them just for looks now.

There is a black screw that you simply use a phillips head screwdriver to turn. It's hard to get it in there with the battery being in the way, so I get a phillips head bit and put it inside an 8mm socket (or whatever fits) and do it that way.

It's in the manual somewhere... get the freaker out and read it. Going from memory, you should park 10 ft away from a wall and adjust the headlights so the line is about 2.5 feet high off of the ground. I honestly can't remember, so just get your manual out and look!

But yes, the screws are there. Pretend you're replacing the bulbs, look at the back of the housing (hood popped) and look for a black circle with a screw in the center, then at night, do as I said (park in front of a wall and angle them properly). Have both the left and right headlight lines at the same spot.

EDIT: See my thread. Pay attention to my summary at the bottom.
