Set your beams so the driver side is zero degrees. The passenger side will rise maybe 1-2° and beautifully illuminate the world including all the road signs like you will not believe.
Aiming hid as if they are incandescent will throw away 50-70% of the light you can be using!
One thing you can code is to leave fog lights on with high beam. If you aim the high beam properly AWAY from the car not 50' from the car you can fill in the close zone with the fog

I checked this out as well as possible on my way to work this morning (in the dark), I think you are right. Mine are aimed much too high. I noticed when turning corners I was illuminating the trees quite well. I'll do a search on aiming and hopefully find time for it tonight. I have to drive in tomorrow moring too so I'll have a chance to check out my handiwork. Thanks for the tip!
