Default Trick to adjusting K2 Motors? + HID Question

I got a set of K2's and they're really not very bright at all... I adjusted them to what I 'thought' was correct, but I took it out and couldn't see a darn foot in front of me.. The darn fog lights work better.. I brought them up a LOT and that seemed to have helped, but the beam isn't really focused..

Someone here said that the K2's are good with HID's, but it says on the housing not for use with HID lamps. .. ??? that seems to be what the darn housing is for!

Tips? Am I missing something? I bought these used, so I didn't spend a lot on em.. My stockers are sand-blasted to death.. Looks like cataracts (I've tried wet-sanding, PlastX, HL Lens Restorer)

My Sonars say "no HID" but that may be because of "legal" reasons (supposedly not legal to have rebased HIDs or something of that nature). I haven't noticed any adverse effects to using them and I daresay the glare is much less than halogens in stock housings thanks to the projector.

Those are probably H1 bulbs aren't they?

Also need to aim them better too I'm sure. I'm going to be measuring where my headlights are aimed at for someone, I'll try to remember to post that in here too as it should be the same for all Camaros (I think mine are a tad low right now actually).
