Default problem with headlight

Hi everybody, i just join the forum and i have a 2005 Mazda 3. I just installed HID's in and i am having problem with the drivers side, it does not line up right, the light is directing toward the left and i have a dark spot where it should be. I have tried taking out the headlight and putting the bulb perfectly but still nothing. any suggestions please let me know
thanks

Have you tried adjusting the headlight with the adjustment screw on the housing?
If not, do that, you can adjust the headlight left right up down and set it from there.

i had that problem where the light was shining to the left on the drivers side, it was because the rubber weather insulation was not set right on the housing, either your is the same situation or you didnt set the retaining pin in right.

teh rubber piece is to keep from crap getting into the headlights, thats something that should of been caught upon delivery to the dealership, good luck, i know with my fat fingers i hard a very hard time getting things into place, i ended up just taking out teh whole cluster, which required to the front bumper to come off
