1. For anyone who has installed HIR's as low beams (9006), how has illumination distance improved??

2. Does anyone else think that stock low beam aim is too low?? How do I adjust aim? Is adjustment located in same place as bulb replacement?

Have '07 Civic Hybrid. Live in area with no street lights, made worse by hills/curves.

Am considering installing HIR's, but think I would also benefit from aiming low beams slightly higher. Don't want too much glare for oncoming drivers, but stock aim seems very low in comparison to all other cars I've owned. I like sharp cut-off of beam pattern, which is similar to Euro H4's I have used in other cars, but illumination distance is poor. I think it's both dangerous and fatiguing.

Thanks for any help.
