HID headlight question
Are the stock HID headlights in 2012 have self adjusting headlights?
Looking to put brighter bulbs in, but have never had good luck installing headlights on previous cars.

I just looked "self-adjusting" headlights in youtube and google and no the 7th gens don't have it. There's a screw behind the headlight where you adjust how high or low you want the beam to be. BTW like Ryan31 said, stock 4300K is going to be the brightest. Going higher on the kelvin scale loses output and gives a blue hue to it. IMO if you really want to go really bright, install 4300K HID for your fogs and retrofit your headlights to be duel bixenon projectors 4300K. Now that would be insanely bright.

Not entirely true. There's 2 bulbs made by Osram. The Osram CBI which is 5000K and has the same amount of lumens as our stock Phillips bulbs and there's the Osram SVS which 4200K/4300K and is brighter than our stock Phillips bulbs (~300lm)
Here's a comparison thread: Osram CBI vs SVS Output Comparison Pics
